Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Pyrenees
Imagine trekking from St Jean Pied de Port to Logroño, following old pilgrim trails through medieval villages and Rioja's wine regions?.Over in Andorra, trails go high into Sorteny Nature Reserve where you'll find 700 different plant species and mountain lakes. The paths around Aigues Tortes National Park are great for spotting bearded vultures, with Sant Maurici Lake showing twin Encantats peaks reflecting in the water. Energetic but amazing.

What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Pyrenees
The guide was very nice, the hotels was clean and the service was good.
Walk the Camino de Santiago
- Trekking the Camino de Santiago
What a wonderful way to enjoy the Spanish country's and some of its religious history that walk the last 130km of the Camino. It will not always be easy (hot humid days increase the risk of blisters) but the experience is worth every ouchie.The towns, accommodation and people are generally amazing even if the quality of food is a bit uneven until you get to Santiago. But food and drink incredibly cheap. Brilliantly organised and led by our Spanish guide David who went above and beyond to ensure we all had a memento experience. Definitely to be recommended to everyone with the capacity to have a decent walk
Antoine is passionate about tourism and ensuring each of his guests feels looked after. Nick & Nuria are very fortunate to have him take over their lodge during their upcoming absence. Laura prepared beautiful meals every evening for us. The only downside were that the rooms were basic with the plumbing being a bit noisy. A coat of 'off white' paint would lift the appearance. However, I think the price reflects the standard of accommodation and so I cheerfully accepted the rooms. All the activities were well co-ordinated and varied. Overall, the friendliness of Antoine, Nick & Nuria, coupled with the great activities and the awesome group that we got really tempts us to do more Intrepid trips in the future.
