My first snowshoeing trip

-by Ibon Alcoz Lobera-.

I had heard about snowshoeing, but the opportunity had never arisen....

E and U organised a weekend at the Pombie hut and O and I jumped at the chance to join in.

We leave late, we're Sunday people!

We stopped to visit a lovely mountain guide who gave us advice and invited us to
a coffee in Portalet.

The day was perfect for the debut: powdery snow and bright sunshine...

We were leaving a valley full of people and entering a valley with nothing to see but a lot of people.
some shadow in the distance.

In the refuge we met more mountaineers, and the night was pleasant.

In the morning, we discovered some replicas of classic skis made by some young people who had done carpentry work in the Albaola, so... We had to try them out!

We spend more time on the ground than on our feet!

It was an unforgettable experience!
