Deal overview

Do you want to know how everything will develop? We'll tell you:
Approximately at 9:00 we will meet at the Puerto de Cotos with our adventurers. There, we will give you all the necessary information and equipment. Once we check that the snowshoes fit your feet perfectly, we go straight, crossing the pine forests and snowy landscapes through the Mirador de la Gitana. Advancing little by little, we will pass through the Cirque of Peñalara, the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park and we will arrive at one of the most beautiful places on the route: the Laguna Grande. Here we will have already reached 2,000 meters high. All this will be approximately 10 kilometers in total.
The return to Puerto de Cotos is done in a more relaxed way, making stops to regain strength and also to take photos of the landscapes. The entire route ends at 3:00 p.m. or so.
