A thin morning light cuts across the wind-swept slopes as a minivan climbs away from Barcelona and into a tighter horizon of ridgelines. By midmorning the air is colder and cleaner; snow crunches underfoot and the silence of the high valleys pushes against the chatter of the group. On a guided snowshoe route out of Grau Roig or El Tarter, walkers trade city noise for wide, raw mountain space where the Pyrenees feel elemental and unexpectedly close.
