Pyrenean Holidays

The houses are situated in the heart of the mountains and can be used as a base for expeditions either up to the crystal clear lakes and mountain tops with views across into Spain, or down into the endless forests and walkways. Whichever you chose, information is available for the novice and the more experienced walker with maps giving you all the information you could need. There are guide books to help you enjoy every aspect of the mountains.
