independent snowshoeing
Discover the mountains in winter on secure paths
READY TO SNOWSHOE ?
Stay in the charming village of Luz St Sauveur and head out each day to discover the mountains under their winter snow cover. Luz gives you easy access to the valleys of the Pays Toy (Barèges, Gavarnie, Luz) and the other Lavedan valleys (Hautacam, Val d’Azun, Cauterets) and their secured snowshoeing paths. Choose either self catering or hotel accommodation in the historic heart of the village. We would recommend hiring or bringing a car – Luz is at 700m so we are rarely snowed in, and this facilitates your access to the surrounding valleys.
On option: relax in the warm thermal waters after your day out.
Hotel Bed and Breakfast twin share: 750€pp/week, includes snowshoe rental, maps and information.
Self Catering: From 930€/week for 2P total which includes all bed and bath linen, maps and information pack, maps and snowshoe rental.
