Snowshoe route to Pico La Najarra 4h

Winter has arrived and for some it is synonymous with Christmas, for others, synonymous with staying home, although for us it is neither one nor the other, but quite the opposite. Winter can only mean one thing, and that is adventure, and in this case we want to tell you about a really exciting one, a snowshoe route to Pico La Najarra , in Puerto La Morcuera , which is located in the Madrid municipality of Miraflores de la Sierra . A tremendous day awaits us, a snowshoe excursion lasting 4 hours , but don't worry, it has a easy level .

We are going to enjoy the snow like never before and as few can, because we will experience an inexplicable sensation of levitation while we contemplate the snow-covered landscapes of the emblematic and colossal Sierra de Guadarrama . All this with absolutely everything in mind, because we will give you all the materials for the activity and a professional guide. In this way, your only responsibility will be to come to Miraflores de la Sierra and come warm with snow clothes, bring hiking boots, have sunscreen, glasses and something to eat and drink during the snowshoe route .

It is a snowshoe outing perfect to have an adventure without having to overexert, so it is ideal if you want to try a new sport, have a different day or have fun in the snow otherwise. And the thing is, a snowshoe excursion awaits us of just 6 kilometers and with a drop of only 350 meters, which is why it presents this simple difficulty which makes it suitable for anyone.

This snowshoe route will lead us through beautiful snowy trails to discover the Altos de La Morcuera . We generally leave from Cossio Fountain with the intention of walking along Cuerda Larga (one of the main mountainous headlands of the Sierra de Guadarrama ) in the direction to the port of Canencia . Following this path, shortly before reaching the Pico Perdiguera we will change direction to go to the Prado del Toril and here we will have a walk through meadows and tracks that will be completely covered by a thick white blanket of snow. From here, and more or less at 1700 meters above sea level, while we float on the snow we will contemplate unparalleled views of Miraflores , Los Altos de Hontanar and of course, of the extensive and seemingly endless Long Rope .

A day of fantasy awaits us and we will be stunned to discover these completely snowy Madrid landscapes. A total silence will envelop us and we will come across forests, meadows and pine forests completely dyed in white. This snowshoe route to Pico La Najarra seems something unreal and you cannot miss it if you are looking for something awe-inspiring to break the routine and get away from the chaotic city.
