Active Pyrenees - Family Holiday

Tripcode: FPS

Countries visited: Andorra, France, Spain

Cycling, walking and rafting
4WD mountain adventure
Magnificent Pyrenees scenery

Nestled in the heart of the Pyrenees, Andorra is the perfect base for an activity-filled week in the mountains. The walking is fantastic, with opportunities to scale local peaks, relax by lakes, explore Incles Valley, and with a bit of luck spot marmots and mountain ponies.

Jump into 4WD vehicles and follow an old smugglers' route to cross into Spain for an action-packed afternoon of whitewater rafting near Sort.

Heading out on bikes, we cycle off-road amidst the breathtaking scenery of the Pyrenees, stopping en route to visit farming hamlets and rural villages.

For those with a head for heights, there's a chance to whizz through the air on zip wires, a highlight for most.

What makes this trip responsible?

We stay in locally owned hotels and pensions, use resident leaders and guides and use locally owned transport; this helps distribute amongst a wide number of people the money we spend. Because our groups are small, it is easier to monitor and control the impact on the environment through the areas we travel.
