Torres Peak Snowshoe Hike

At 10:30 am, we'll meet at the La Braña restaurant in La Raya, an Asturian village. After gathering, we'll equip ourselves and begin our snowshoeing hike to the glacial cirque of Torres Peak, a suitable way to engage in light exercise amidst nature.

On this 3.7-mile (6-kilometre) route, we'll navigate smooth ascents and descents at the base of Torres Peak, taking in views of the mountains and valleys. We will encounter glacial peat bogs and heathland and may spot alpine newts, partridges, or hares.

During our walk along the snowy trails, we will observe panoramic views of the Cantabrian Mountains and closely view Torres Peak, which rises to 6,900 feet (2,104 metres). Additionally, we will share interesting snow facts and local legends.

Following our exploration, we will return to La Raya, concluding our activity at approximately 1:30 pm.
