Introductory

For non-skiers, the Ordino Arcalís resort runs a two-hour guided snowshoe excursion every day of the season. The pedestrian lift pass is in the price, and the meeting point is the La Coma sector, in the upper part of the ski area, at about 2,200 metres.

What you get for the €35

For €35 per person: the guide, the snowshoes and the pedestrian lift pass for the way up and down. Insurance is added separately, if you want it. It departs at 10:30 from the La Coma sector, and the minimum age is 12. Book in the resort's online shop.

Clothes for 2,200 metres

Waterproof mountain boots, layers, gloves, a hat, sunglasses and sun cream: at that altitude the midday sun burns even when it is cold. A small rucksack with water.

Afterwards, down in Ordino

Go down to Ordino for lunch, at the Tòpic, and in the afternoon visit the Casa d'Areny-Plandolit, in the same village.
