Looking for a break between two descents? Renting a snowshoe in Guzet is the ideal way to discover the mountains in a different way. Between fir forests, silent clearings and views of Mont Valier, the itineraries around Guzet 1400 and Prat Mataou offer a gentle, wild atmosphere, perfect for families, couples or the curious in search of nature.

The weather changes quickly in the Pyrenees. Cold, bright mornings are often the most stable, with snow that wears well; after a recent fall, the undergrowth becomes enchanting. In strong winds, prefer forest loops to ridges. In late winter, leave early to take advantage of snow that is still firm before the afternoon thaw.
