We had some great early season weather on our Valle de Tena Explorer trip last week. It’s always a delight to welcome people to our home village of Biescas. The wildflowers are simply stunning this season and at this time of year we’ve the trails to ourselves and the mountain tops are still white with snow.

We’ve just returned from a wonderful private walking holiday in Priorat and Beceite, combining Mediterranean mountain walks, wine tastings, historic villages, local food and some very special encounters with the people who make this area so memorable.
A memorable week of snowshoeing in the Pyrenees. After bad weather for most of the winter, our group hit lucky with wall to wall sunshine this week! Routes explored Canal Roya, Ibón de Estanés and the mountains around Portalet, with Pablo and David guiding the group across a very snowy Pyrenees.

Travelling from London to the French Pyrenees by train to hike in the dramatic cirque of Gavarnie, is a relaxed way to reach the Pyrenees, avoiding flying and taking in the French scenery on the way. You can travel from London to Lourdes in a day, and from there the excellent hiking bases of Luz-Saint-Sauveur and Cauterets, where our French Pyrenees guided holiday is based, are nearby.
