Haute Pyrenees Trek

The Pyrenees provide some of the finest and wildest scenery in Europe, parts of which are very remote. Our route takes us over varied and challenging terrain, and includes a section of the famous HRP (Haute Route Pyrenees). We begin with three days walking through the Aigues Tortes National Park, a region sprinkled with hundreds of deep blue glacial lakes. Our route then takes us over a high pass to our base camp for the trip up Pico Aneto (3,404m.), a strenuous but non-technical climb that requires crampons and ice-axe (available for hire locally). Though the beginning and end of the trek are based in a comfortable hotel, on the five-day expedition we stay in mountain refuges and carry our own personal gear - but the nights spent in these marvellous mountains make any effort worthwhile.

Trip Profile:
6 days backpacking; altitude maximum 3404m., average 2100m.

Grade :
Strenuous to Tough - You need to be very fit preferably with some experience of trekking. You will be trekking for up to 9 hours a day.min.

FLIGHT INCLUSIVE PRICE

WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDES
In all the items below, “included” means either in the price or in a specified “local payment”.

Flights
The prices include flights from a UK airport to the destination airport and back, UK departure tax, all necessary domestic flights on the trip itinerary and all airport transfers. If you do not need our group flights, please ask for the “land only” prices. If you book at the “land only” price, international flights and related airport transfers are not included, but domestic flights generally are, except where tickets for these have to be issued in conjunction with your international ticket.

Accommodation
This is included in the price. If you’re camping, we provide sturdy two-person tents and all necessary communal camping and cooking gear, so you will just need to bring a sleeping bag and, on most trips, a sleeping mat.

Single rooms or tents
Our prices are based on twin share accommodation. If you book your own (many people do), we arrange for you to share with a person of the same sex. We do not charge a single supplement except on extensions. Where it is operationally possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to guarantee single accommodation for the whole tour; where this is the case further information and prices can be found in the Trip Notes. If you would like a single room or tent on a particular holiday you should contact the office for details. Where we are unable to guarantee single accommodation you may be able to arrange and pay for it locally. If you are a smoker we ask you not to smoke in your room or tent if sharing. Please note on certain trips single accommodation is not available due to local operational conditions.

Food
Meal plans vary according to area and circumstances: for every trip, details of what is included are shown in the Food section of each trip, and in the Trip Notes.

Transport
All necessary transport during the trip is included, whether private or public.

Sightseeing
Included wherever it is part of the itinerary (as stated in the Trip Notes). There are usually optional trips too.

Staff
