Daywalks from a comfortable hotel in the stunning central Pyrenees

Forming a natural border between France and Spain, the Pyrenees have been one of our most popular destinations for over 15 years. With spectacular scenery, an abundance of flora and fauna and a warm Mediterranean climate it is easy to see why.

New for 2010 this trip will be based in the charming French spa town of Ax-les-Thermes, already a popular destination for our Pyrenees winter cross-country skiing weeks (trip code CXX). Our accommodation for the trip will be a comfortable family-run hotel, with en suite rooms, surrounded by lush mountains, meadows and rivers. For those wishing to travel by train there are excellent rail links in to Ax-les-Thermes and several regional flights offering easy access to Toulouse. Our flexible programme of five daywalks will include the summits and ridges of the lower hills, as well as forays into the high peaks, towards glacial lakes and more rugged terrain.
