Pick up your car and drive into the Pyrenees.

We provide you with detailed maps and driving directions.
Check in to your boutique hotel in a small village near the top of the valley, close to the French border.

Walk across a high plateau towards the very distinctive peak of Midi d’Osseau. The route takes you right around the beautiful landscapes of the base of the peak.

Walk 12km, 5hrs, up 540m, down 540m

Hike up to the summit of Anayet, the sister peak to the Midi d’Osseau.

The walk follows a very pleasant and easy to navigate route along a valley.

Walk 12km, 6hrs, up 1,000m, down 1,000m

You might like to have today to relax.

There are lots of pretty villages in the area as well as some special places to eat.

We provide you with detailed local information to help you get the most from each area you visit.

Set off early today as you change hotels and begin your journey eastwards along the Pyrenees range.

Half way between your two hotels lies the Ordesa National Park defined by limestone valleys carved out by glaciers.

Drive up to the Aigues Tortes National Park today for a spectacular walk in the mountains.

From the park entrance, walk up to the pass at 2,562m for some of the most stunning views in the entire Pyrenees range.

Head down the valley to walk one of the many beautiful routes available.

One of the best is a walk taking you from the salt pans of Gerri through woodland to a medieval chapel.

Walk through the Aigües Tortes national park along a beautiful forested valley to cross the famous winding waters to a granite mountain circus.

Here you can have a picnic and dip in the cool waters.

Travel eastwards today as you drive an hour to your second hotel which is in the next valley over. Here you are in the Catalan speaking area of the Pyrenees so some of the locals struggle with their Spanish, let alone English.

Enjoy a day of walking in the stunning limestone hills of the Sierra del Cadí.
This is a little used route taking you up to gorgeous high pastures which contrast starkly with the craggy mountains beyond.

Complete your holiday with the three-hour drive back to Barcelona or your chosen airport.
