A wind-slick ridge opens above the valley and the trail narrows into a white ribbon. Snowpacks sigh underfoot as you step into a guided snowshoe tour through Andorra’s high country — trees bowed with rime, rock outcrops peering like old sentries, and a skyline of serrated peaks. The guide tightens bindings, points to a distant cornice and to the tracks of an isard cutting a clean line across the slope.

Layer for changing conditions
Temperatures can swing; pack a moisture-wicking base, insulating mid-layer and waterproof shell to adjust on the trail.
Footwear matters
Wear insulated, waterproof boots with room for thick socks—snowshoes attach more easily to sturdy boots and keep toes warm.
Start early
Morning tours usually have firmer, safer snow and clearer visibility before afternoon winds pick up.
Follow the guide and ask questions
Guides know local avalanche conditions, wildlife patterns and the best photo spots—listen for safety briefings.
