The snowmobiles used are two-seaters, ensuring a smooth glide over the snowy terrain. The itineraries take place in the Valle de Tierra Mayor area, passing through lenga forests along flat or gently sloping trails.
This excursion can be combined with other activities offered by winter centers, and there is also the option to take the tour at night.
