🏔️ PYRENEES LIGHT — HIGH MOUNTAINS, WITHOUT THE ALPINE GRIND 🇪🇸🇫🇷
📅 September 14–20
Experience the spectacular high peaks of the Pyrenees on a carefully designed week of hiking that combines epic mountain scenery, comfortable trails and great hotels — without the exhausting alpine slog. Over six days, we explore the valleys and high-mountain landscapes of the Benasque, Bielsa, Pineta and Néouvielle areas, with moderate hikes and plenty of time to enjoy the scenery.
🥾 What’s on the itinerary?
💦 Cerler Waterfalls — 6 km / +250 m
A gentle first hike to ease into the week and take in the mountain scenery around Benasque.
🏔️ Forau d’Aigualluts — 12 km / +400 m
One of the iconic landscapes of the Pyrenees, deep in the Maladeta Massif and surrounded by spectacular peaks.
🌿 Valle de Estós — 13 km / +520 m
A classic Pyrenean valley hike following the river through meadows and rocky landscapes.
💎 Ibón de Barbarissa — 11 km / +580 m
Our biggest climb of the week leads to a beautiful high-mountain lake with sweeping views between the Benasque and Chistau valleys.
💦 Pineta Valley & Cascadas de la Larri — 11 km / +450 m
Explore the vast Pineta glacial circus and powerful waterfalls beneath the Monte Perdido massif.
🇫🇷 Néouvielle Nature Reserve — 8 km
Cross into France for a spectacular downhill hike among crystal-clear lakes, granite peaks and ancient pine forests. A shuttle takes us to the high-altitude starting point, so we can focus on the scenery rather than the climbing.
🏨 COMFORT AFTER THE TRAIL
For the first four nights, we stay at Sommos Spa in Benasque, a 4-star hotel where you can relax after each hike. We then move to SNÖ Hotel Bielsa, perfectly located for exploring the Pineta Valley and the surrounding mountains.
