Full description
Get ready for a day of family fun.
Snowshoe through the Sierra Nevada mountains, learn how to build an igloo like a real explorer and finish the day tobogganing. All surrounded by the most breathtaking winter scenery in Granada.
4 hours of laughter, discovery and adventure to create family memories that will last far beyond the winter.
What we will do
The meeting point in Monachil, Granada, is 30 minutes before the booking time. There we will be met by the guide, who will give us the snowshoes and poles and explain how the activity will be carried out before starting the route.
We will start the day with a walk in the snow, learning how to move with the snowshoes while we enjoy the winter landscape. The route will be a maximum of 1 kilometre, with a gentle slope, ideal for families with children. During this experience, everyone will be able to enjoy the Sierra Nevada National Park in winter.
After an hour's walk we will arrive at an open area perfect for our next mission: to build an authentic igloo. With the help of the guide we will learn the basic techniques and, working as a team, we will shape our own snow shelter. An educational, fun and very different activity.
After the workshop, we will set off on our way back. After walking for another hour, we will put the finishing touch by sledding down the slope. A rounded experience to enjoy the snow, the mountain and the illusion with the family.
The activity will last about 4 hours in total: approximately 2 hours of walking, 1 hour of igloo building and extra time to play with the sledges.
