What to expect

If you like hiking and love snow, we offer an activity that we are convinced will be unforgettable. Snowshoeing on hiking trails allows us to move easily on snowy surfaces. Thanks to the rackets we will not sink into the snow and can float on it without having any previous experience. The usual hiking trails become a completely different experience than what you are used to. Walking on snowy terrain allows us to discover spaces of great landscape beauty in a fun and totally safe way. Hoya de la Mora is about 50 minutes from the center of Granada and is located at an altitude of 2,500 meters. It is a very used space to know the high peaks of Sierra Nevada, starting point for hiking and enjoy the snow without having to go through the ski resort. So you understand what we're going to do. The activity has a total duration of 4 hours: 50 minutes drive to the University Hostel. Approximately 3 hours walk. 50 minutes drive to return.
