Adventures and information on the Spanish Pyrenees
We've two new guided walking holidays for 2024 - the Beceite Spring Hiker (7-14th April) and the Catalan Pyrenees (18-25th May). Both are in fabulous hiking areas where we've run self-guided and private group trips for a number of years and are now offering as standard guided trips. Both trips are dual-level, with two hikes offered each day - a longer and a shorter option. Beceite - an...
Pasarelas are routes that follow a metal walkway through a gorge or across a cliff face. There’s a great new pasarelas route in Panticosa which I tried out with Isabel this weekend. The route isn’t long at just over two kilometres, but has fantastic views

In the last week of the summer holidays, we had a family hiking trip up to Refugio Goriz in the Ordesa National Park where we camped for the night. Isabel and Christopher are only 9 and 6 so we cheated slightly and took the Ordesa 4x4 taxi up to Punta Acuta. From...

Last week, Juanma and I had an adventure in the Ordesa National Park and bivvied on the summit of the three thousand metre Punta de las Olas. It was by far the highest I've ever bivvied and I have to admit to a little nervousness about being that high up without a...
