When hiking in the Pyrenees, a sense of freedom and remoteness is part of the experience. Wide valleys, high passes and quiet trails are what draw people here. At the same time, these are serious mountains, where weather can change quickly and mobile phone coverage is not always reliable. A Garmin InReach allows you to call for help if something goes wrong and for people to see your location and keep an eye out for you.

We had a brilliant snowshoeing holiday early this month, and our group of six intrepid guests had absolutely perfect conditions! It was one of those magical weeks where it had snowed all of the week preceding the trip, and then the day the guests arrived, the sun broke through and we had fantastic weather all week along with great snow underfoot.
