Fancy doing something different on a full moon night? Come with us on a snowshoe route to the Baciver valley, one of the calmest and most spectacular corners of the Aran Valley.
We start at the Orri parking lot and walk under the moonlight (and headlamps, of course), following the course of the Malo River. Little by little we immerse ourselves in a high‑mountain landscape, among snowy woods and alpine meadows, where silence and nature prevail.
During the activity you’ll discover the sky like never before: you’ll learn to identify constellations, planets and other astronomical phenomena guided by an expert. We’ll also share curious stories about how ancient Pyrenean cultures navigated by the stars, and about the impact of light pollution on nocturnal wildlife.
This is a relaxed, educational and nature‑connected experience, in a magical setting. No previous experience needed — just the desire to spend a different night.
Please arrive 10 minutes before the start of the activity. Once your booking is confirmed, you will receive a detailed voucher with precise directions to the meeting point for easy access via your GPS.
Don’t miss the chance to explore the Baciver valley under the full moon!
