Considered one of the best treks in the world, Carros de Foc should be a must-see route for all mountain lovers. Manaslu Adventures offers you this fabulous Snowshoe circular route in the spectacular Aiguastortes National Park so you can enjoy an intense experience and its spectacular landscapes. Carros de Foc is a circular route of 56 km and almost 9,000 meters of accumulated unevenness that unites the nine protected refuges of the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park located in our Pyrenees and which stands out for the large number of lakes and rivers it contains. . The altitudes of the route range between 1,900 and 2,800 meters. The ideal time to do it on snowshoes is March and April, subject to Easter and when the shelters open their doors for mountaineers who cross the park.
The Carros de Foc journey was born when some refuge guards made a route on foot between the nine refuges of the Park and one of them baptized this journey with the name “Carros de Foc”. Since its creation, Carros de Foc has had spectacular success and the number of participants has increased year after year, especially due to the impressive beauty of the surroundings. Later came international recognition, the best known of which was the report that The New York Times published in 2003 and launched him into stardom.
