Getting to the Pyrenees
Where are we?
We are based in the Aragonese Pyrenees and the mountains surrounding us are some of the highest and most spectacular in the Spain.
We use four bases -
Zaragoza transfers
We provide transfers from Zaragoza airport or train station on a Sunday evening. Transfers are timed to meet the Ryan Air flight from London Stansted. From Zaragoza it is two hours to Panticosa or Biescas, slightly longer to Torla.
Currently there is a problem with the Ryan Air site and no flights to or from Zaragoza can be booked. We’ve spoken to them and they’ve said the flights will run and the problem should be fixed in around a week. If by any chance this flight route did not run we’d provide transfers from Barcelona airport on Sunday afternoons. EasyJet flies to Barcelona from several UK airports and a couple of other airlines fly there too.
Until the flights are sorted out if you’d like us to pencil you in and reserve your space that’s no problem. Once the flights are available to book (or we’ve changed transfers to Barcelona) you can finalise the booking and pay your deposit.
