This holiday offers breathtaking walks through the High Pyrenees, near the Spanish border. You are based at the Val d’Azun, an expansive high-level valley running east-west (hence its specially sunny microclimate and its name “the Valley of Light”). It’s one of the Seven Valleys of Lavedan in the ancient County of Bigorre, just a stone’s throw from Henri IV’s kingdom of Navarre.

The landscapes are dramatic and varied: high peaks and cirques, mountain streams and passes, lush meadows, ancient woods and picturesque villages. Mostly you’re around 2,000m with the snow-capped peaks of the High Pyrenees towering above you. Each day, there’s a choice of 2-boot (easier) or 3-boot (more challenging) routes, and you can alternate the routes from day to day, if you wish. The routes are well designed by the knowledgeable staff of our local partner, La Balaguère, and have been checked by our own reps. As usual, your bags are transported for you.

The accommodation is comfortable and very geared towards mountain walkers.  En-suite rooms are guaranteed everywhere except at the alternative chambre d’hôte in Arrens. Meals are of a good standard throughout.
