Castle Walks
Explore the awesome mediaeval Cathar castles. We offer short
sight-seeing trips around the castles, or walk sections of the famous Sentier
de Cathar.
For the very adventurous we can offer a walk of the whole of the Sentier de
Cathar which takes about 12 days and we stay in 'Gites d'Etape' on route.
These walks are in the foothills of the Pyrenees, and can therefore be
walked all year round.
Our Selected Walks
Peak Walks
Enjoy the challenge of walking in the high mountains,
Longer trips can include overnight stays in mountain huts
Spring Flower Walks
.
“Few European ranges can match the Pyrenees in their variety of summer flora
at all altitudes.”
(“The Rough Guide to the Pyrenees")
Walk into the spectacular flower- filled meadows. Half day or full days
possible in Spring and early Summer.
Cave Walks
The Ariege hosts some of the best cave art in Europe! We offer walks
where you can trace the footsteps of prehistoric man, explore caves and find
out how your ancestors lived.
“ Tarascon-sur-Ariege has nothing to suggest that it’s the heart of one of
the most fascinating areas in Europe. Any account of the emergence of the
human species must include the caves around Tarascon, which together
constitute an unequalled display of prehistoric painting and artefacts.”
(“The Rough Guide to the Pyrennes")
Family Walks
We can adapt any of the above walks for young children. We
focus on nature, and look at insects and wild life. We can also
incorporate activities such as den building and climbing along the way.
