Pic de Midi Tours

THE HIDDEN PYRENEES

This is a 7 night tour based in a beautiful guest house near Lourdes. During this week we aim to show you the Pyrenees from a new angle. Our walks are away from the usual tourist hotspots and well frequented and documented trails, and we head instead for lesser known paths that offer the same variety of outstanding scenery without the crowds.

Walking in the Forest, Pyrenees

You will cover a wide and varied area during this week, and see diverse and fascinating scenery. Subject to weather conditions, we aim to cover a variety of treks, including:

A valley to valley trek,
Forest and River treks,
Ridge walks,
Round walks to peaks that offer incredible views

Picnic in the Pyrenees

There will be a two day expedition on the trek, when you will stay at a mountain auberge for a night, where twin bedrooms and an evening meal will be provided.

We walk at a relaxed pace to enable us to enjoy the scenery and look at the wildlife. Although we do not venture above 2000 metres we still recommend that you have some mountain walking experience. This tour is not for those looking to ‘bag peaks’, but for people wanting to see the immense beauty of the central French Pyrenees without having to battle for the best spot to get a photo! Look out for ‘hidden mountains’, colourful local lizards and scenery that has inspired films.

At the end of each day (except on the overnight expedition) we return to our comfortable and welcoming accommodation for a 4 course meal and a chance to relax and compare notes.

Full board accommodation except for one dinner when you have a free evening in Bagneres

Guided walks throughout

Savour the moment….live for today

Cirque de Gavarnie

Where the dawn mist parts and the morning sun

Turns the mountains pink; the adventures begun.

Where the eagles sore over valleys green

And we feast our eyes on the sights to be seen.

Where glistening lakes and rocky peaks

Bring tears of wonder that moisten our cheeks.

Here, where the world uplifts and inspires,

Our bodies may ache but the heart never tires.
