Mountain guides organising guided snowshoe outings throughout the Catalan Pyrenees, Andorra and Aragón, with fixed dates and groups of ten.

Rutes Pirineus (Rutes Pirineus Turisme Actiu de Muntanya SL) organises mountain outings with a qualified guide. In winter it schedules a snowshoe series with fixed dates: the frozen lakes of the Cerdanya, the Pla de Beret in Aran, Pessons in Andorra, Aigüestortes, Port Ainé or the Forau d'Aigualluts in Benasque.

## How its outings work

Each outing has a day and time to meet in a mountain car park. You get there on your own. Groups are a maximum of ten people and go ahead with a minimum of four; if it is not reached, they refund the amount. Most are introductory: moderate effort and little technical difficulty, with about 8 or 9 km and 400 to 530 m of ascent.

## What the price includes

The guiding costs €47.90 per person including VAT on the one-day outings we have reviewed. It includes preparing the route, monitoring the weather and terrain, the qualified guide and accident insurance. Snowshoes and poles are hired separately, for €9.90. If a Nordic ski area charges for access, it is paid at its ticket office.

## If there is no snow

They only count an outing as a snowshoe one if at least 40% of the route is on snow. If they expect less, they propose a similar alternative or cancel it with two days' notice.
