If you are longing for sunshine, beautiful paths and the sound of cicadas I have the perfect plan for you! Join me next summer on a **_7-day hiking tour_** around the **Canigou (2786m)**, a mythical mountain in the French Pyrenees, in southern France, **near the border with Spain and Catalonia.**

The Canigou is located only 50 kilometres from the Mediterranean Sea, north of **Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste,** in the Pyrénées-Orientales department. On clear days, it is even visible from the Mediterranean coast and beyond. The Canigou has a **symbolical significance for Catalan people.** Every year, on 23 June, on Saint John’s Eve, they built a bonfire at the mountaintop and keep a vigil during the night. 

We will meet in Prats-de-Mollo-La Preste, at the Camping Saint Martin. This small village, located **just 13 kilometers from the Spanish border**, is part of Northern Catalonia and belongs to the historical comarca of **Vallespir**.

In the afternoon, we will set up our tents, enjoy an aperitif and an evening meal. Next morning, our hiking adventure begins! We will be **hiking for 5 to 7 hours every day**, spending every night in a different cottage. Please note you need a good physical condition, as to hike about 20 kilometers on each stage.

**If you’d like to join me on this beautiful hike in southern France, just send me a request. Check the date below and book your trip! We will spend a great time hiking around the mythical Canigou.**

We take the road and arrive at the campsite in the late afternoon. We set up our tents, then we enjoy an aperitif and an evening meal.

Arrival-Campsite

From Thursday to Tuesday, we will hike with a light backpack, carrying our belongings, spending every night in a different cottage, with half-board meals included and a picnic lunch every day.  We spend the last night at a campsite.

Hiking - Cottages

After taking down the tents at the campsite, we get ready to get back home.

Rich, AEGM - UIMLA-certified mountain guide, wants to take you on this 4-day hut to hut hiking trip in the Spanish and French Pyrenees!

Hut to hut hiking in the Spanish and French Pyrenees

Lakes and light. The **Néouvielle Natural Reserve**, a protected environment for several decades, will hold the attention of all the lovers of landscapes, nature and pastoralism untouched by men.

This remarkable site will allow the hiker to move around an original granitic massif where glaciers still leave a mark of their passage… The hiker will also discover a spectacular vegetation with specimens sometimes pampered, even at the European degree.

And for our greatest pleasure we will certainly meet or observe some species endemic to the massif.

Finally, the 3000 m surrounding the Reserve will probably protect us from weather changes by creating a climate with a rather Spanish influence…

Three different accommodations will mark the journey and we will therefore make two stages from refuge to refuge. The other hikes will be star-shaped.

Accommodation is provided in comfortable refuges with full board (picnic lunch).

I propose a 7-day hike but I can of course adapt a program that can adjust to your wishes and the time you have available in the region.

**I invite you to contact me to talk about it.**

Hiking in the Néouvielle Massif

Discover the mountainous delights of the Pyrenees with me, and witness giant waterfalls, antique parks, beautiful glaciers and green-covered canyons, as we trek across the UNESCO-listed region.

Far out of eyesight from the streams of tourists, we head to the heart of the richly biodiverse reserve of Gavarnie-Ordesa-Vignemale, located in the little-known border zone.

Along the trek we will pass magnificent gorges, spectacular paths and passes, through cliffs and sleepy mountain villages in remote valleys. And after good day of trekking we will stop in hotels when we can, otherwise relaxing in mountain huts.

Watch the gushing water drop from Cirque de Gavarnie, the highest free-falling waterfall in the Pyrenees, and described in German-Jewish writer Kurt Tucholsky’s 1927 book Ein Pyrenäenbuch.

We cross a high pass (2,465m) over to Spain in the Ordesa National Park in Aragon, the oldest national park in Europe. From here we descend into the valley of Pineta, continuing past lesser known areas and beyond beautiful canyons and sleepy villages until we reach the spectacular Anisclo Canyon, a tough and rewarding canyon that’s clothed in greenery.

Once here we have another climb into the high mountains to reach Goriz hut (2,195m), resting at the foot of Monte Perdido, the third highest peak of the Pyrenees (3,555m).

Next we will walk through the Ordesa Canyon, which gives the national park its name, before staying overnight in a medieval mountain village of Torla. We then travel through the neighbouring valley of Bujaruelo, following the watercourse to the source of the Rio Ara.

We will continue on a high pass (2,591m) back to France, before spending the night at the foot of the spectacular summit of Vignemale along with its glacier.

On the final day we follow the drain of the Vignemale glacier on the Lac de Gaube, beyond the waterfall path and down to tranquil commune of Cauterets.

On 3 occasions, we will stay 2 nights in the same spot so that you can enjoy a few days of trekking without carrying your bags and also wash and dry some clothes. The tour ends in Cauterets from where you can reach Lourdes and Toulouse the same day by public transport.

Due to the level of difficulty involved, such as trekking with 9-11kg backpacks, up to 7-hour daily hikes, ascents and descents up to 1,200 meters, potential participants are expected to have a good level of fitness. In addition, some passages, such as the crossing between Spain and France, require sure-footedness and not to be afraid of heights.

**Reserve your place now to surround yourself in the pristine wonders of the Pyrenees on this 13-day guided trek. Through the UNESCO-listed region, experience lush parks, sparkling glaciers, and colossal canyons.**
