Organised Walks in the Pyrenees
Your stay in the Pyrenees will surely be enhanced by our own walkers. Five days a week (not Wednesday or Saturday), they will offer two stunning walks, one more demanding than the other. You can join them as much or as little as you like at no extra cost. Simply drop into 'Office Hour' (see below) to discover what walks are on offer.
much or as little as you like at no extra cost
Panticosa provides superb access to four stunning walking areas and we intend to walk in a different area each day. From Panticosa, the Ordesa & Monte Perdido National Park, the Pic du Midi d'Ossau, the Valle de Tena and occasionally the Cirque de Lescun.
These walks are unforgettable and regularly you will be stopped in your tracks by the magnificent landscapes that surround you. Moreover, your time in the mountains is certain to be enhanced by the fascinating flora and fauna that grace these slopes during the summer months. Our Organised Walks set off soon after breakfast and we generally return to the village mid/late afternoon.
Simply drop into 'Office Hour' and arrange to take part in whatever takes your fancy.

Office Hour
Each early evening (except Wednesday) before dinner, we hold 'Office Hour'. It is more relaxed than its name suggests and some people just drop in for a sociable drink. Here you can join up for the following day's organised itineraries for walking, via ferrata, wildflower walks and painting. You can browse through maps and ask questions.
If planning an independent itinerary, we will happily help and advise. We can also book other mountain pursuits for you, such as paragliding, white water rafting, horseriding or our Glacier Treks and itineraries.
Office Hour is ideal for meeting like-minded people in a sociable atmosphere and this often has positive repercussions. Often people team up for a day out as a result of dropping in.
Ultimately, you do exactly as you please, we are available to help, but careful not to interfere. If you prefer to organise your days independently, we will leave you to your own devices. Itinerary ideas and information are always at hand at Office Hour (see below) and in our chalets.
being independent
For people who prefer to be independent and do their own thing, on your arrival you can obtain an Ideas & Information File, which will be invaluable to you. It will provide you with easy access to numerous magnificent proposals. In it, we have documented over 30 wonderful high and medium/low level walks, over 20 Via Ferratas, several 'Drives and Days Out', bike rides etc. under headings, such as 'Five Easy Walks', 'Five Classic Via Ferratas', 'Five Ideas for a Rainy Day' etc.
...route Laminates can be borrowed from us either at office hour or from our resort offices
In addition, a Route Laminate corresponds to each of the proposals documented in the Ideas & Information Files. This is a small laminated A5 version of your chosen walk, which you can borrow from us. It is easy to carry and less bulky than the 'I&I' File. It contains the relevant section of map as well as the route description and other useful details. Route Laminates can be borrowed from us either at Office Hour or from our resort offices.
Our Hotel - Warm Hospitality & Good Food
The Hotel Sabocos is right at the heart of a successful holiday, you will have a relaxed and sociable time in good company. If you prefer to stay in during the day with a good book, make yourself at home in the comfy bar or on the terrace and relax.

Our Day Off in the Pyrenees
Our day off in the Pyrenees is Wednesday. Breakfast is served and packed lunches are available too, but dinner is not served. This gives you a chance to eat out and we will be happy to recommend a local restaurant. Also, there is no Office Hour so sign up for Thursdays walks on Tuesday night at Office Hour.
