Guies de Taüll, with an office in Taüll itself, runs snowshoe groups through the Vall de Boí from December to April. It is the outing for a day with no fixed date in other calendars: you choose half a day or a full day and the guide picks the route according to the snow and the avalanche risk.
Who takes you
It is a small company in the valley with more than thirty years in mountain activities. Its team includes high-mountain guides with the UIAGM qualification, mid-mountain accompanying guides and a technical director trained in snow science and avalanche management, a member and teacher of the Associació per al Coneixement de la Neu i les Allaus (ACNA). They work with small groups and collaborate with the Vall de Boí and with the Asociación Española de Guías de Montaña. It matters that the guide knows the valley's snow well: the route is decided each day depending on the state of the snowpack.
What the outing is like
The website advertises the snowshoe excursion as a half-day or full-day outing through the Vall de Boí, and the company says it offers options for all levels. It does not publish fixed routes, elevation gain or meeting point: the guide sets them when you book depending on the snow. If you are looking for a fixed itinerary with times and kilometres, the snowshoe outing to Aigüestortes and the Estany Llong has a published programme.
For those who already have experience, Guies de Taüll also offers in April 2027 the five-day Carros de Foc snowshoe traverse through the Aigüestortes National Park, from €675.
Before booking
The website advertises the outings from €35 without detailing route or meeting point. Call 676 225 072, or write on WhatsApp to that same number, and ask:
- whether the price is per person or per group;
- whether it includes snowshoes and poles, or you have to hire them;
- from what age they do it and what duration suits children;
- where you meet and at what time.
The office is at carrer Gralleres, 15, in Taüll. Bring layered warm clothing, waterproof boots, sunglasses, water and something to eat, especially if you choose the full day.
To round off the day
After the outing, in Taüll itself you can visit Santa Maria, free to enter, and have lunch at El Caliu. To relax your legs, the Spa Siente Boí at the Pla de l'Ermita is open in the afternoon.
