Hiking In The Pyrenees
The 450km long Pyrenees mountain range seperates Spain from the West of Europe and offers some of the most rewarding and challenging scenery in Europe.
The mountain range covers the northern regions of Catalonia, Aragon and Navarre and is home to some of Spain’s most beautiful landscapes. Adventure sports are one of the best ways to enjoy this stunning landscape to the full including kayacking, mountain climbing and hiking. Hiking is the most popular activity in the Pyrenees. The whole range is crossed by many different trails, both short (PR) and long (GR). The GR 11 is the most famous of these, and is known as the Pyrenean Trail. It crosses the entire mountain range, from one end to the other. There are also many other signed, easier routes that set out from the mountains villages of the region. Any time of year is good to go hiking here, with the exception of winter, when snow covers the peaks and valleys of the range. Nevertheless, you should always take basic precautions when you go hiking, such as carrying sufficient water and a map of the area.
