Winter
Winter Access:
Best from Son del Pi with skis or snow shoes. In case of little snow, it ́s
better to go up by car to the Nature center Planes de Son and start out from
there. Please don ́t park on the private parking. The downhill through the woods
(following the summer path) requires higher skiing skills than the longer but
comfortable route on the „pista forestal“ (dirt road), which is recommended
after heavy snowfalls due to avoid avalanche risk. In any case it ́s highly
recommended to get in touch with us before starting your trip.
