Mountains and snow


The Sierras de Béjar and Francia, declared UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, are two mountain sites which are worth a visit especially if you would like to practise Skiing. In the Sierra de Béjar we can find La Covatilla, the only ski resort in the province of Salamanca. Close to it, in Candelario, there is an amazing natural setting which is ideal for some activities, such as hiking, climbing o cycling, because there are routes which go up to the most beautiful mountain places.
