Description
The famed Pyrenees, running 400 km from West to East, forming the border between Europe and the Iberian Peninsula – between France and Spain – is a must-hike mountain range for any hiking enthusiast. With a curated selection of our favorite hikes in this region, we will explore a mix of high mountain passes, colorful alpine lakes, towering glacier-created cirques and beautiful waterfall filled streams and rivers. We explore both the Pyrenees National Park, created in 1967 and Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. Hiking from France to Spain – and back a few days later – you’ll get to experience the culture, history, and outstanding cuisine of this region with light day packs and led by our expert, local guides.
