SNOWSHOEING WEEKEND IN GREDOS WITH MOUNTAIN GUIDE

Sierra de Gredos, two hours drive form Madrid hides one of the most alpine and rugged landscapes in the Central System massif.

During winter hundreds of climbers and skiers make the corresponding pilgrimage looking for their ice waterfalls and descent lines.

We can also enjoy this incredible landscape with a tool available to anyone used to walk in the mountains, Snowshoes.

Depending on conditions, we will go up Morezón, with its 2,389 m high, one of the best viewpoints of the famous Gredos glacial circus and its Laguna Grande, which we will probably find covered by snow.

On the second day, depending on snow conditions, we will choose another beautiful route.
