When should I go?
The Pyrenees are high mountains. In spring expect some snow on the high ground as well as full and fast flowing rivers. The vegetation is at its prettiest at this time of year.

Summer days are long and generally weather is warm/hot and sunny.

Autumn weather is the most stable with pleasantly warm days, cool evenings and little precipitation.

How active?
Entirely up to you. Since you have the freedom of your own car, you can take the holiday at your own pace.

We assume that you want to walk on most days but you can of course take time to relax.

There are also options for other activities such as mountain biking and watersports.

We provide you with walking notes and maps.

How comfortable?
Three extremely comfortable, friendly rural hotels chosen for their quality, location and atmosphere.

The hotels are all four star standard, two with spa facilities.

The largest has 30 rooms, the smallest just 10.

How independent?
With your own car, you’re completely independent and flexible but with support available if you need it. We provide you with all the maps, walking notes and local information you will need.

How responsible?
Pura Aventura is passionate about the places it visits. To help preserve the integrity of these destinations we:

• Keep groups small to minimise environmental impact.

• Work directly with local businesses and organisations to directly benefit local economies. We use small, locally owned hotels and restaurants.

• Work with local guides so that our holidays are more interesting for clients and more beneficial locally.

Pura Aventura actively supports the Spanish mountain conservation charity www.quebrantahuesos.org
