What makes this activity special is that the excursions adapt to all levels and types of participants. After all, it’s not the same for a super-trained athlete as it is for a family with grandparents and kids, right?
5 Snowshoeing Routes
1. Snowshoe Equipment Hire. If you’re already experienced in this type of activity or you’re an adventurer who’s happy to grab some snowshoes and poles and hike up the mountain, this option is perfect for you. No need to rush, keep up with the group, or watch the clock. Take your time and enjoy a full day in the snow.
It’s usually very affordable, and most resorts offer this option. Check out snowshoe hire in Asturias, for example.
2. Beginner Snowshoeing in Guadarrama. The ideal choice for first-timers looking for an introduction. Some families even bring their little ones, who have an absolute blast! During the trek, the mountain guide makes stops to share insights about the area or the sport itself. They’ll also adjust the route based on the group’s energy levels.
Prices start at around €15/person for children. Find more info here.
3. Discover Sierra Nevada on Snowshoes. Let’s be clear—Sierra Nevada is a must-visit. Its landscapes are unique, the slopes incredible, and Granada one of Spain’s finest cities. Need we say more?
This is the star winter sport, especially for those less experienced in snow activities. You’ll have two route options, tailored to your level: the Fuente Alta route (with distant views of Granada) or the trail to the Chapel of the Virgen de las Nieves.
