The Pyrenees trip planner

A natural border between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of mainland Europe, the soaring Pyrenees feature some of the most remote and challenging hiking routes on the continent. Rich in native wildlife and stunning natural features like sparkling lakes and limestone cirques, this area remains a nature lover's paradise. To discover the history, culture, and geology of this region, base your Pyrenees trip in a traditional village and then hire a mountain guide to help you navigate numerous trails through four major national parks. In addition to walking, you can enhance your Pyrenees sightseeing experience by skiing, mountain climbing, and observing native birdlife.
