Adventures and information on the Spanish Pyrenees
Our new French Pyrenees holiday took us on a journey, following in the footsteps of the first Pyreneists, exploring the giant cirques of Gavarnie, Troumouse, Vignemale and up the famous Col du Tourmalet.
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.
Rising above the plains of Huesca, the Castle of Loarre is one of Europe’s best-preserved Romanesque fortresses. Built at the frontier of the early Kingdom of Aragon and later used as a filming location for Kingdom of Heaven, Loarre stands at the gateway to the Sierra de Guara — a landscape best explored on foot, where history, geology and walking trails come together naturally.
Discover the glacial cirques of Gavarnie, Troumouse and Estaube on a guided walking holiday in the Pyrenees National Park. A two-centre journey through the heart of the French Pyrenees. Come and discover the beauty of the French Pyrenees with us!
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.
Nestled in the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees, Ordesa National Park is a true gem for nature enthusiasts and hikers alike. A UNESCO World Heritage site with dramatic limestone cliffs, cascading waterfalls, lush forests and huge biodiversity. Most hikes start at la Pardera and in high season, you need to take the shuttle bus from Torla. Read the summer 2025 bus timetable and dates.
