September here is a beautiful month. The villages are winding down after a busy August and we start waking up to fresh crisp mornings. The leaves on the trees start to change colour and the hill sides turn a mixture of orange and red. We’ve even had a dusting of snow on the higher peaks.
Below is a selection of photos from the guided holidays we ran through September –
Discover Ordesa
We had great week hiking with the Ordesa crew with fresh snow on the tops of the mountains, my first sighting of a wild boar whilst out guiding and an ideal location for final drinks of the week! Thanks for coming guys!
- Hiking the Faja Pelay
- Fresh snow on the Treserols
- Final beer in Nerin at the end of our final hike of the week
Valle de Tena explorer
A great team from many corners of the world and a few familiar faces too. We explored the abandoned villages of Serrablo, rang the bells on our Santa Erosia hike, reached the tops of some impressive peaks and even spotted a snake which had managed to elude us for many years.

A bespoke 8 days of hiking
We welcomed Carolyn, Bill, Dave, Deb, Isabel and Drew from New York to the Pyrenees with a personalised 8 day itinerary taking in both the Valle de Tena and Ordesa as well as local wine tasting and tapas evenings. Many thanks to the 6 for their company!

- The summit of Pico de Anayet 2545m after tackling the airy chained section

Great blog. Really enjoyed my second trip to the Pyrenees. Hope you have a great winter season @ Fort William. Maybe the Picos next year.
