Pyrenees Snowshoe High Level 8 days
from £845 excl. flights* Starting out with 2 days of introductory snowshoe hiking from our base just outside Luchon, we then drive up to the head of the Benasque Valley on the Spanish side of the range. Here, from the Nordic ski centre of Llanos del Hospital, we begin a 3-day expedition that will take us into one of the most impressive snow-filled cirques in the Pyrenees. With 2 nights at the Refugio La Renclusa (2140m), we are in a great position to extend our exploration to the 3000 metre summits of Diente de Alba and Mulleres, where we have fantastic views of the nearby Pico Aneto (3404m), the highest Pyrenean peak. This part of the holiday will include a couple of long and testing days, each with around 1000 metres of ascent. Returning to Luchon and the comfort and fine food of our rustic lodge, a free day allows us the opportunity to take it easy or to try another optional winter activity - such as skiing at nearby Superbagneres. |

The Pyrenees on Foot 8 days
from £845 excl. flights* Centre-based at a comfortable mountain hotel in the pretty spa town of Ax-les-Thermes, this walking holiday will highlight the best of Midi - Pyrenees, with a series of short and scenic day-walks. Accessed through Toulouse, this part of the Pyrenees is home to some great peaks and wild landscapes. Our itinerary takes in the best circular loops and summits of the area. With views of Andorra we have an easy walk to the summit of Pic de Tarbesou (2364m) and we pass several peaceful, hidden, high lakes. Some of our walks pass through the cool forest whilst other take us on high plateaus to mountain refuges. We may spot some marmots, chamois and possibly the odd golden eagle. The town of Ax-les-Thermes is famous of its natural thermal baths and we have included a couple of visits here to relax in style after a day in the hills. We also have a free day at the end of this walking holiday in the Pyrenees to allow us to fully unwind and enjoy this town and surrounding areas. With the majority of holidaymakers in Ax being French we can truly immerse ourselves in the French way of life. |

Walk to Freedom across the Pyrenees 7 days
from £895 excl. flights* The ‘Chemin de la Liberte' was the toughest of several escape routes set up across the Pyrenees during the Second World War. Running from Saint-Girons in the Ariege district of France to the village of Isil in Spain, the trail has been an official way-marked walk since 1994 and can be completed as an excellent and quite challenging 4-day hike. After a first night in Saint-Girons, we trek on forest trails into the foothills of the Pyrenees and climb to cross the high mountains of the Ariege via the Refuge des Estagnous (2245m) and the Frontier Col (2522m). En route, we encounter rocky cirques, mountain lakes, boulder-fields and possibly snow-filled gullies, whilst marvelling at some of the finest mountain views in the Pyrenees. Finally, we drive back across the border into France and end our adventure with a free day in the charming town of Luchon. |
