Grading

This is a self guided walk with average daily stages of 3.5 – 6.5 hours. The walking is graded moderate, however each day there is an option to join a more challenging route (sporty route). There are many ups and downs as you would expect in the foothills of the Pyrenees with nights spent on the coast. Walking poles are definitely a good idea. A reasonable level of fitness is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: Navigation on this trip can be complex at times so good map reading skills and experience using a compass are important. The trip is suitable only for experienced walkers who are proficient in trail finding. The walk takes you up into the mountains during the day and back down to a coastal town for your next nights accommodation. Therefore there are no towns visited enroute and no shops to purchase supplies once you have left town. As with all of our trips it is important that you are well prepared. We suggest that you undertake regular exercise – swimming, cycling, and jogging, two to three times a week for three months prior to your departure.

Accommodation

6 nights 2, 3 and 4 star hotels
During the trip you will be accommodated in small, family run hotels. The size of rooms will vary from hotel to hotel, as will the standard of accommodation. Most of the hotels are surprisingly good.

What You Carry
