Snowshoeing in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, Madrid

The meeting point will be our rural tourism centre located in Puerto de Navacerrada. When the whole group has arrived, we will distribute the necessary equipment (snowshoes and poles), and the guide will give some initial notions of technique and safety.

The route is circular, and may vary depending on weather conditions, although in general it follows the Schmid Way up to Siete Picos. Halfway along the route, more or less, there will be a short stop to rest and regain strength, and if the weather is good, to admire the marvellous views we have from the top.

On the way back to the starting point, we will try out our snowshoes on virgin snow, where we will be able to test the usefulness of snowshoes when progressing over snowy terrain.
