Around the World

The High Pyrenees: eight days of mountain hiking though the central part of the Pyrenees in France and Spain and a two day visit to St. Bertrand de Comminges, a Roman and medieval cathedral city, and to the 18,000 year old prehistoric cave paintings of Gargas. We will carry our breakfasts and lunches and will eat most evening meals in mountain refuges. We will take advantage of the usually mild Mediterranean weather to camp out in tents. In the village of Cauterets, we will stay in a mountain pension at the beginning and end of the hike.

For eight days we will thread our way over mountain cols, high valleys and mountain cirques. The trip will have a two day introductory overnight hike and then a six day tour.

The hiking in the Pyrenees is often rougher and steeper than in the Adirondack High Peaks. The distances are not great but there is a cumulative effect of a multi day trip with 15 to 20  pound packs. This is an outing for A hikers who would like an athletic holiday.
