Pirinea Nordic

If you like skiing but you get tired of the lines at the chairlift or the crowds of people on the slopes, you have to try cross-country skiing. In addition to being a healthier exercise, it is much less crowded than alpine skiing. In Pirinea Nordic you can practice this modality along 13 skiable kilometers that are divided into 4 circuits: 2 green, one green and one red.

Pirinea Nordic stands out for the beauty of its landscapes. This is undoubtedly due to its privileged location, in the middle of the Aragonese Pyrenees and surrounded by the valleys of Alto Aragón. Tours like Foyas will allow you, in addition to exercising, to marvel at the snowy landscape as you cross a populated beech forest or contemplate the panoramic view of the valleys.

The resort has all the necessary amenities so you can enjoy an excellent day practicing snow sports:

- You can rent all the equipment you need, both for cross-country skiing and for snowshoeing. No more having to load your skis in the trunk of your car and see if they fit or not. Rent your equipment on the slopes and forget about it.

- Courses: you can take courses in cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, mountain orienteering (specialized in mountains with snow), igloo construction, etc.

- Bar-cafeteria-refuge: the refuge, with a capacity for 80 people, is the perfect place to stop along the way and recharge your batteries with a hot drink.

Pirinea Nordic Snowshoes gives you the opportunity to take tours through the incredible snowy landscapes of the Canfrac ski resort (Huesca), in the Aragonese Pyrenees. Snowshoes are footwear that attaches to boots and allow walkers to walk on the snow without sinking and, consequently, becoming much less tired. It is the perfect way to get physical exercise in the snow and enjoy the outdoors in winter. Furthermore, the route can be adapted to be more or less hard, so that practically everyone can put on snowshoes and take a walk through the snow.

At the Linza station the routes cross the populated Beech forest which is part of the slopes and which, covered in snow, is a truly picturesque landscape. In order to do the routes, groups of at least 4 people are required. The duration of the walk can be two or 4 hours.

The technical material is delivered by Pirinea Nordic. This consists mainly of rackets and canes to help you walk. Participants are recommended to bring the three G's required by any snow sport: gloves, hat and goggles (in addition, of course, to warm clothing).

The Canfrac cross-country ski resort is one of the 6 stations that make up the Nordic 6 group. Pirinea Nordic Ski Resorts is located specifically in the town of Anso, province of Huesca, in the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees. To go by car from the city of Huesca the journey takes approximately an hour and a half. It is located at an altitude of between 1540 and 1699 meters high, so in the snow season the slopes are always in good condition.

The total number of skiable kilometers in Canfrac is 13, divided into 4 different circuits. The circuits are of all levels, so that both beginners and experts can practice cross-country skiing: 2 green circuits, 1 blue circuit and 1 red circuit. In addition to cross-country skiing, you can also do snowshoe routes and even ski-bus rides.

The station has cross-country skiing, orienteering and igloo building courses. It also has a shelter with capacity for 80 people that serves as a base and meeting point to carry out all the activities, in addition to also being a bar-cafe where you can recharge your batteries.

Hiking trails are one of the best activities you can do all year round. Although the ideal time is spring or summer, in the rest of the seasons you can also enjoy excursions that will take you walking through the mountains.

So that you can choose appropriately, we want to propose half-day or full-day itineraries:

• Half-day: These are 4-hour routes that take place in summer and winter. We will go to the Ibón de Escalar or the Estanes on very simple routes of about 7 or 8 kilometers. We also went to the Chemin de la Mature and began a journey to Col d’Arras.
  
• Full day: the paths we will travel are somewhat more complex and you will have to go through slopes of between 800 and 1000 meterss. They are routes that have more than 10 kilometers of route and in which you will have to have a lot of resistance. The chosen places are the Ibón de Samán rising from the Izas Valley and the Ibón de Ip that will take us through impressive landscapes. Other slightly longer itineraries are those that run along the Roya canal until reaching the Ibones of Anayet or the path that goes from Espeliguère to theIbón de Arlet.

There is no more fun activity than canyoning. It is one of the most popular sports and it is not surprising because when you tour a canyon you discover the most intense and exciting sensations you can find.

We are very lucky to be in the Ansó region since there are many ravines that you can go through. There are two types of ravines in this area. The simplest would be the one in which water does not appear throughout the entire route. These dry canyons are designed for a more technical descent but equally addictive and you are sure to enjoy it.

Although the most special canyoning is the one that is done between pools and waterfalls since being an aquatic tour you will have much more fun jumping and cooling off. If you come with your friends in a group you will surely have a great day and you will be able to spend a very exciting day while you go through the ravine.

We have three levels of ravines:

• Level I. This is the perfect type of ravine so that you can come as a family to practice it, since it can be explored by children from 8 years old. It lasts one and a half to two hours. They are not very deep ravines but the landscapes you will find here are very beautiful.

• Level II. Aimed at all types of people, especially for those who want to start in this sport.

• Level III. Aimed at people who already have experience in this sport and, at least, have done a level 2 canyoning with us (so we can make sure of the level you have).

We offer a a la carte canyoning service, where apart from the canyons we have available, you can also propose areas in which to do this activity. We will be delighted to travel to three areas: Pamplona, the Pyrenees and Sierra de Guara, in the pre-Pyrenean area.

We always have different alternatives, since we believe that it makes no sense to repeat the descent of the same ravine.

Are you ready to try it? We prepare the activityfrom 2 people so you have no excuse not to come and explore one of the best ravines you will ever find.

Are you a lover of winter and sports that can be practiced in the snow? Are you looking for a simple activity that you can do on the best slopes? So at Pirinea Nordic we can offer you a day in which cross-country skiing will be the protagonist.

On skis you will begin to explore the most spectacular areas that have been covered by snow. The excursions of this type of skiing are quite simple and you just have to be able to stay on your skis and ride them down the mountain.

The shortest activity we organize has an approximate duration of 2 hours and you only have to be 2 people so we can prepare it. If you are both sports lovers and want to spend more time on skis, we will recommend coming for a full day with about8 hours of activities.

Bring your own equipment or we will give you the option to rent it. We will offer you the best materials and we will try to plan everything so that everything is to your liking when you come to practice cross-country skiing.

Don't wait any longer to enjoy one of the best snowy landscapes that the Pyrenees have.

You have to have a lot of courage to face a natural rock wall and reach its summit. If you think you are brave enough to try our climbing days, atPirinea Nordic we have the best activity you can find.

In the surroundings of Ansó you will find walls of all kinds. From simple ones suitable for all audiences to others that are a little more complicated that we won't let go unless you have previous experience.

The climbing activities that we will organize are designed for any group. The minimum number of participants will be 2 people and from 15 onwards a special group will be considered with which we will make somewhat different options.

The duration will depend on how long you want to spend trying the climb. Maybe half a day, that is 4 hours, will be enough. But if you are looking to spend more time and learn more, we recommend spending 8 hours and having a very complete activity.

Are you coming to climb? Let us prepare everything so that you can ascend and reach the most incredible peaks you have ever reached with the help of the best professionals.

The sports practiced among the mountains are the most spectacular and often the most fun. If you also choose a simple activity that you can enjoy with your whole family or with any of your group of friends, much better! Because this way you will have a great time in nature

The Via Ferratas are a great option in this sense since their itineraries are very safe and you don't need to be a great expert to have a great time traveling them. In the area of Huesca and in the surroundings of Ansó there are an infinite number of these routes so you will have no problem choosing the one that best suits your needs and your level.

Although it is a simple sport, you must keep in mind that you cross both vertical and horizontal paths and that you must use carabiners, harnesses and helmets. It will also be ideal that you bring comfortable clothing to being able to move well along the via ferrata and even perform complex movements.

Are you looking forward to starting a Via Ferrata? Well, don't hesitate any longer and come try how fun it is. We are waiting for you to push your capabilities to the limit!

Practicing sports is one of the best ways to promote teamwork, so if you have had to prepare the Team Building day in your company, we will help you with the activities that work best. It is just what we want at Pirinea Nordic, for you to disconnect from the work routine with your colleagues and enjoy with them away from work.

You can try a Canyoning or a Via Ferrata between the mountains that surround Ansó. These routes are especially interesting for groups since they are somewhat complicated and you will have to help yourself to get through certain areas that are quite difficult.

Another great idea, especially in winter, is to come and participate in the snow activities that we carry out at our ski resorts. Using snowshoes or cross-country skis, we will walk along snowy trails that no one has ever walked on before.

We can offer you meeting rooms or special meals for your arrival. What we want is for you to have a great day and, at the end of it, to leave with great motivation and return to work with a lot of energy.

The best option to have an incredibly good time at your friend's bachelor party is to do it with adventure activities or sports that allow you to have great feelings with your friends.

At Pirinea Nordic we have all the activities you can think of, from winter sports to others that are done in the mountains during any time of the year.

You can go on a snowshoe route or try a cross-country skiing itinerary in the best ski resorts in the Pyrenees. This way you will have a great day and you can complete it with dinner and drinks in the restaurants in the area.

But if the farewell is in summer or when there is no snow, don't fear because we also have a large number of sports options. Canyoning or completing a Via Ferrata is usually the best idea for groups of friends looking for adventure. You can also climb or hike on a day that we will create from scratch and combine it to your liking.

Ask us and find out how to combine the activities and how to complete them with dinners, lunches or a great party with drinks.
