Happy Christmas from the Pyrenees
We’d like to wish all of our friends and guests a very merry Christmas from all of us here at Hike Pyrenees.
We’d like to thank all of you who hiked with us in the Pyrenees this year and made our season such a success.
We’ve had brilliant early season snow in the Pyrenees so we’ve been out skiing and snowshoeing.
We hope you all have a fantastic 2020 and hope to see you out hiking next year.
Best wishes from,
Phil, Anna, Isabel, Christopher, David, Juanma, Pablo, Rosa, Teresa and Arkaitz
New snowshoeing holiday dates
Snowshoeing holiday: 7-14 March
I’m delighted to say that our snowshoeing holiday has been really popular and already full.
We’ve several other people that would like to come, so we’re running a second holiday on the 7-14 March. The holiday will be based in Sallent de Gallego at Hotel Almud which is the heart of the Pyrenees, surrounded by high peaks.
Snowshoeing under blue skies with Pico Anayet in the background
Winter is a magical time in the mountains. The scenery looks spectacular under a blanket of snow and you are surrounded by silence and tranquillity. Snowshoeing is a fantastic way to discover this magical landscape. Snowshoeing is brilliant fun and requires no previous experience or technical skills – if you can hike you can snowshoe! We’ll teach you all the techniques you need to know during your stay.
First skiing and snowshoeing trips of the winter
Winter has arrived early in the Pyrenees and it’s been snowing for most of November in the mountains, right down to village level.
Formigal and Astun ski stations both opened last Saturday (16th Nov) – I’ve never known them to open that early before. From today Panticosa and Candanchu are also open. The snow is fantastic! Probably better than at any stage last season and there’s a good covering on and off-piste with plenty of powder. Great news for all those signed up to our snowshoeing holiday in Feb/March as this snowfall has set up a great base that should last all season.
At the escuela de esqui deportesmoga you will learn everything you need to have fun during your winter vacations.
We’ve taken advantage of the snow and headed out both on the ski’s with the family to Formigal and on snowshoes to the peak of Errata.
Summer 2020 Pyrenees walking holiday brochure
Our summer 2020 walking holiday brochure is available to download as a pdf or to view online. Our brochure has all the dates and prices for our guided and self guided holidays next summer. This year, to cut down on a lot of paper and brochure air miles, we’ve decided not to publish a printed brochure. All of the information is available on our website or on the downloadable pdf.
As usual, we’ve got a busy summer lined up. We start in April and May with two fantastic twin-centre holidays: Mar y Montaña and Riglos & Alquezar. Both have superb scenery, great early season weather, lovely hotels and restaurants.
Mid-summer we have our guided holidays in the Valle de Tena and the Ordesa National Park, as well as a lovely itinerary in the Picos de Europa.
For those that prefer self guided hiking look out our Village to Village itinerary in the high Pyrenees or the Villages of the Guara which is perfect earlier in the season.
Whichever holiday you choose, you can be sure that our local qualified guides will show you the best hikes in the area and that with them you’ll experience the real Pyrenees.
If you have any questions about our holidays or would like to check availability, just drop us an email at info@hikepyrenees.co.uk and we’d be glad to help.
We hope to see you in the Pyrenees next summer!
