organised walks
 
 
Office Hour
 
Each early evening (except Wednesday) we hold Office Hour. More relaxed than its name suggests, people can join us for a sociable drink, whilst signing up for the following day’s organised walks. You can browse 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 rafting, paragliding, horseriding etc.
 
In effect, it is an opportunity for you to enjoy a drink in the company of like-minded people whilst finalising your plans for the following day.
 
 
   
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 right) to discover what walks are on offer.
Luz-St-Sauveur (Luz) and Panticosa both provide good access to four or five stunning walking areas and we intend to walk in a different area each day. From Luz, for example, we can access the cirques of Gavarnie and Troumouse, the Néouvielle Nature Reserve and the Pont d'Espagne. 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.
*See Walks in the French Pyreneees here and walks in the Spanish Pyrenees here.
