Snowshoe Trails in Asturias

Snowshoeing routes in Asturias are one of the most engaging physical and recreational activities during winter. They consist of walking on snow using snowshoes to avoid sinking or getting wet, with the aim of reaching incredible snowy landscapes while enjoying all the benefits of taking part in an activity that is beneficial for both our physical and mental health.
Our snowshoeing routes are easy level and are guided and led by certified professional Mountain Guides.

We start from scratch, so if it is your first time, we will teach you everything you need to enjoy a wonderful morning learning, walking, and enjoying the landscape and the snow.
