BAREGES VALLEY TREK

395€pp (3 days - 2 nights)

Spend one night in a charming converted barn, and the next in a high mountain refuge. This 3-day-trek takes you from the green valley bottom to a high mountain lake above 2000m. It is a short sharp burst of the mountains to keep you going.

LAVEDAN MINI TREK

395€pp (3 days - 3 nights)

Our charming hotel in the centre of Argeles is the perfect base for three days excellent walking. We start with the Pibeste Nature Reserve, and the Pibeste Summit, which is really glorious in spring – the south facing slopes are green and full of flowers and Mediterranean plants not usually found in the central high  Pyrenees. It is also a site for a huge number of birds all year round. The views over the plains and the higher summits are truly spectacular.
On our second day we head up the Mont de Gez and into the Val d’Azun, discovering this valley that is often called the ‘Eden of the Pyrenees’.
The last day takes us into the secluded and relatively unvisited Bergons Valley.
Price includes three nights half board accommodation, three picnic lunches, and three days guided walking.

PIMENE SUMMIT

190€pp (2 days - 1 night)

Join us for two days walking and one night in a refuge. You walk around the Gavarnie Cirque and then enjoy the wonderful views of the frontier summits and the cirque from the Espugettes Refuge at 2027m where you spend the night.
Day two sees us tackle the Piméné summit (2800m) from where you have one of the most spectacular views in all the valley – all the way down to Lourdes and the plain beyond, and south to the Mont Perdu, surrounded by the three glacial cirques (Gavarnie, Estaubé and Troumouse). Descent to Gavarnie at the end of the day and transport back to Luz St Sauveur.

VIGNEMALE SUMMIT

240€pp (2 days - 1 night)

Two days walking to tackle the Vignemale, at 3298m, the highest peak in the French Pyrenees.
The first day we head up to the Baysellance Refuge at 2646m which is the highest refuge in the Pyrenees.
After the night at Baysellance our second day is a big one, heading up to the summit via the Ossoue Glacier with a qualified UIAGM high mountain guide, and then all the way back down to the Ossoue Dam. Return transport to Luz St Sauveur.

MARCADAU VALLEY

staying in Refuge Wallon

395€pp (3 days - 2 nights)

After collecting you in Lourdes we head straight up to Pont d’Espagne above Cauterets, climbing to the Refuge Wallon in the Marcadau Valley. The refuge sits in the centre of three valleys, giving us three great options: the Aratille lake and pass for a spectacular view into Spain, the opal-coloured lakes of Cambalès or  the famous Col de la Fache, where allied pilots escaped Nazi forces during the Second World War and Republican forces fled from Franco in the Spanish Civil War.
On our last day we take a circular route via a series of lakes including the magical Lac Pourtet before heading down to meet the path back to the Pont d’Espagne.
Price includes two nights half board in Refuge Wallon, three picnic lunches, three days guided trekking.
