Hut to hut Trek in the Pyrenees, La Senda de Camille

Begin your adventure by meeting your guide at Somport Mountain Pass (pick-up available from Jaca or Canfranc). Your trek starts on the French side, surrounded by dense forests, charming shepherd huts, and the region’s famed cheese. Marvel at the dramatic Aspe amphitheatre and the picturesque Espelunguera valley.

Upon reaching Arlet Refuge, enjoy stunning views of the Midi d’Ossau, and if the skies are clear, a quick 20-minute walk to the border reveals the striking Aguas Tuertas in the Western Valleys Natural Park. Conclude your day with dinner and an overnight stay at Arlet Refuge.

After breakfast, set off along a trail that skirts the border of the Pyrenees. Traverse historic mountain passes like Saoubathou and Lo Palo—routes once used by workers and those fleeing conflict.

The descent into the Lescun valley introduces you to the peaceful life of the Béarn locals, with the towering peaks of the Lescun cirque contrasting against lush meadows dotted with traditional stone farmhouses and grazing cattle. Enjoy dinner and overnight accommodation at Camping Lauzart in Lescun.

Your day starts along a paved road offering panoramic views of the Lescun cirque, highlighted by impressive rock formations such as Les Billaires, Mesa de los Tres Reyes, and Petrachema.

Stop in the Ansabere plain to sample some fine French cheese before tackling the climb to Las Agujas. Re-enter Spain as you descend through ancient beech forests toward Linza, where dinner and a cozy night at Linza Refuge await.

After breakfast, leave your mountain hut and follow the path to Paso del Caballo. Your route takes you past challenging summits like Anzotiello, Mallo Gorreta, and Quimboa—peaks that seem to guard the secrets of the mountains. As you descend to Guarinza, you’ll encounter intriguing megalithic relics.

Once in Selva de Oza, unwind with a cold beer under the shelter of a majestic beech tree at the wooden cantine. A transfer then brings you to Gabardito Refuge for dinner and the night.

Following breakfast, enjoy the shortest stage from Gabardito to Lizara—a roughly four-hour walk that offers an optional challenge: a climb to Bisaurin, the highest local summit boasting spectacular views.

If you opt for this additional ascent, expect about three extra hours of trekking. Dinner and an overnight stay at Lizara Refuge complete your day.

On your final day, after breakfast, set off on one of the most scenic segments of your trek. Traverse the enchanting Valle de los Sarrios and be captivated by the shimmering Ibón de Estanés.

Although the path is lengthy, its challenges are balanced by mesmerizing landscapes. Begin with a two-hour uphill, continue through the Paul de Bernera and the Valle de los Sarrios, descend to the ibón, and finally cross the Bosque de las Hayas to reach Somport.

A transfer then takes you back to Canfranc or Jaca, marking the end of your remarkable journey.
