Collett's holiday in the Pyrenees can be tailored
to meet each of your requirements and preferences. Travel
here as you please – see details of flight, rail,
ferry and self-drive options on Page 22, as well as
information on our Airport & Rail Transfers. |
| |
| Stay
as long as you like, arriving and departing on whatever
day suits you. Choose between the French side, the Spanish
side or a little time in both. Either stay half-board
or B&B in one of our charming hotels. Or self-cater
in an apartment nearby. |
|
| Once
here, do exactly as you please. We understand if you
prefer to be independent and left to your own devices.
We can provide you with what you need to create a succession
of enjoyable days out in the mountains. Or join us on
our organised walks... |

|
|
| 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.
