Our self-guided walking holidays are designed to help you explore in the Pyrenees and follow iconic routes with friends or family. You can take advantage of our local knowledge to get the best out of the walks, having us handle all the logistics. We offer this on classic trails in particular such as the Cathar Way and Chemin de Bonhommes which are close to home in Ariege. You will normally arrive into Toulouse or Carcassonne airports.
You will meet one of our guides on arrival who will be happy to help with any last-minute questions and usually come to share the first dinner. Before your holiday we send you a comprehensive information pack along with your hiking maps, directions and to offer advice on routes and answer any questions you have. We are more than happy to arrange a zoom or whatsapp call prior to your trip – infact prefer it!
We have a choice of either hotel to hotel or auberge to auberge holidays, where we move your luggage each day or on occasion for single centre-based holidays. You will be able often to upgrade accmmodation according to taste or just stay with our recommendation.
