The twin peaks of the ‘The Encantats’ are renown for their beauty. Their name is the Catalan word for The Enchanted Ones, which evocatively describes this spectacular destination. This trip is the perfect package for the avid nature explorer to discover a frozen paradise of lakes, hills, crests, peaks and fresh powder.
