Torres Peak Snowshoe Hike

Go on an adventure in the foothills of one of the peaks in the Cantabrian Mountains on our Torres Peak Snowshoe Hike from La Raya. We'll explore colossal landscapes that lie on the border between Asturias and León. Let's go!

Torres Peak Snowshoe Hike

At 10:30 am, we will meet at the La Braña restaurant in La Raya, an Asturian village. Once everyone has arrived, we will prepare our equipment and set off on a snowshoeing hike to the glacial cirque of Torres Peak.

During this 3.7-mile (6-kilometre) route, we will experience smooth ascents and descents at the base of Torres Peak while admiring the views of the mountains and valleys. We will encounter glacial peat bogs and heathland, and possibly spot alpine newts, partridges, or hares.

As we walk along the snowy trails, we will enjoy panoramic views of the Cantabrian Mountains and get a good look at Torres Peak, a quartzite mountain at an altitude of 6,900 feet (2,104 metres). We will also discuss facts about snow and some local legends.

We will then return to La Raya, concluding our activity at around 1:30 pm.
