Experience adventure in the heart of the Pyrenean trails

From the famous 3,000 to the foothills, via the Madiran vineyards, the Pyrenees offer a diverse range of landscapes. From a few steps to several days’ walking, the 3,000km of signposted trails will cater for all tastes.

Just a few steps andIt's an adventure

Curiosity gets the better of us and we wonder what awaits us behind the next ridge, the next summit, the next village… Once we’ve crossed that pass, what valley, what lake, what landscape will we contemplate? What encounters will we have? A shepherd lying next to his flock? A herd of isards? A flight of birds of prey? The extra step is always a promise. And hiking brings that delicious thrill of discovery to holidays.

Mountains & Wonders

From the glacial massif of Vignemale to the vineyards of Madiran, via the summer meadows, the valleys and their villages, the balloons of the Baronnies, the fields of the hillsides… in the Pyrenees, there is an incredible diversity of landscapes to explore.

With a guide

Experience the high mountains in complete safety

For those who want to go hiking on holiday, the option of a holiday organised with a guide offers a number of advantages: the comfort of letting yourself be guided, the sound advice of an experienced guide, his or her tips on how to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the scenery, the conviviality of a group… The holidays on offer can be either itinerant, immersed in nature, or star-led, with a return to the village each evening.
