In the intimacy of the Pyrenees, where the snow wraps the landscape in an immaculate mantle, snowshoes invite you to escape in harmony with nature. We invite you to discover this enchanting region through a variety of routes and unforgettable experiences. From Le Mourtis, Bourg d’Oueil or Peyragudes, let us guide you on your winter adventure.

Experience your adventure
on snowshoes at Le Mourtis

Le Mourtis, a charming resort nestling at the foot of the mountains, is an ideal starting point for your snowshoeing outings. Here, winter unveils a range of routes to suit all levels. The 2.6 km long Crêtes trail offers breathtaking views of the snow-covered peaks. For those who prefer a more accessible walk, the 1.7km panoramic circuit is perfect for gently immersing yourself in the beauty of the Pyrenean landscapes. Finally, the 5.4km forest trail plunges you into the mystery of the Forêt de Pan, where the silence is disturbed only by the crunch of snow beneath your feet.
