About your trip
If you're an intermediate hiker seeking your next physical and technical challenge and looking for a taste of the unique Pyrenees mountains, then you've come to the right place. Exploring this beautiful region on foot is an experience like no other.
From walking through ancient gorges that have been carved by prehistoric waterways over millennia to taking in the extraordinary 360-degree views from 12th-century castles that rise out of the cliff faces, and sampling the local wine and cuisine, this tour provides the opportunity to have unique experiences that will create lasting memories.
With a home base return every evening and carrying a day pack, you will complete single-day hikes to various destinations. The two bases are Cucugnan, a charming village with a windmill still used to grind flour for the local bakery, and Puivert, a tranquil village that is home to its own medieval castle, a local brewery, and a troubadour museum showcasing the Cathar culture.

For over ten years we have explored the wonder of the Pyrenees mountains and valleys. Our love for the region, culture, and people led us to make this place our home. It is impossible to move through this extraordinary Pyrenean landscape without finding a deep sense of connection growing within you. It is both our mission and our desire to share the magic of that experience with you.
