Pyrenees - Mountains to Mediterranean (self guided)
7 days - from $1095
The majestic mountains of the Pyrenees offer breathtaking scenery and remarkable walks...
On this exceptional self-guided walk through the Pyrenees, you will begin with your head in the clouds in the Costabonne Mountains in Spain and finish with your feet in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea on the Cote Vermeille in France. Each day you’ll embark on stunning walks through diverse landscapes of lush green valleys, wild chestnut woods and beech-groves to the hillside vineyards of the Albères foothills. You’ll hike amidst spectacular mountain vistas, along rugged mountain crags and descend into ancient villages; each with their own charm, from Prats de Mollo with it’s dominating hilltop fort, the cherry town of Ceret, once a magnet for artists like Picasso, Chagall and Matisse, to the old Roman spa town of Amelie les Bain and finally the seaside town of Banyuls sur Mer. This walk through the French and Spanish Pyrenees will truly exhilarate you!
