Reality Check
The walking here is varied and spectacular, with some superb scenery at the higher levels. Over the course of the week we will try and tackle two classic gorges and one peak in each of the three massifs in the Picos de Europe, Spain’s first national park. Most of the walking is on shepherds paths or old disused mining paths, although the final ascents of the peaks can be quite rough underfoot.
Grade B on all departures (EXCEPT trips departing 1st May / 26th June / 14th August / 25th September when the grade is C).
As in all mountain ranges, the weather is unpredictable and this may affect several walks. With changeable weather it should be expected that on some rare occasions lower level walks may not being available. Although please be assured that our local contacts are always able to find a suitable alternative.
Group size and age

Icons explained
The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
No experience is necessary; those who take weekend hill walks in areas like the Peak District or Cotswold’s at home should manage a B-grade trek; good health and reasonable fitness are important. These Moderately graded departures are either fairly easy medium-duration walks or harder, shorter walks.
For those clients who wish to travel with a group of other solo/single travellers (or solo parents on family trips), on certain trips we have set aside departure dates that are specifically recommended for clients booking individually.
Solo departures are aimed at taking away that concern that you may be the only solo traveller when you arrive overseas. Look out for the solo departures (marked with a grey icon 's') by checking the notes in the dates and prices table.
Wilderness: Visit the deserts, jungles, plateaux, tundra and mountains of all seven continents, including Antarctica.
Wildlife: Trips may be wholly wildlife focused, or contain an element of wildlife viewing within a less specific itinerary.
Walking & Trekking: Trips are wholly trekking-focused or simply include a significant number of walking days during the itinerary.
