At the foot of the great Pyrenean sites, Luz Saint Sauveur is an ideal base camp for discovering winter in a different way. With a snowshoe rental in Luz Saint Sauveur, you can take your time traversing the fir forests, listening to the river Gave, and gently ascending to superb viewpoints of the Vignemale, the Pic du Midi or the Pays Toy valley.

Here, beginners will appreciate the undergrowth itineraries near the local resort or the Lienz plateau, sheltered from the wind and perfect for getting to grips with snowshoeing for the first time. More athletic skiers aim for accessible ridges, such as the Col de Riou sector, for generous panoramas when the snow and weather are right. The ideal time to set off is in the morning, when the snow is cold and supportive; after a fall, sunny days offer magical conditions.
