Despite the weather, the trip was excellent, with a first class guide, Peter, who taught us about the rich history of the region and the Camino. He was a great shepherd to a group of mixed abilities. The hotels were generally above my expectations. The food was generally excellent.
The walks were lovely and the scenery very varied. The hotel is comfortable and serves great food : ) you'll never go hungry. V well organised and the tour guide was great.
CAP - Snowshoeing in the Catalan Pyrenees A snowshoeing holiday based in two small traditional Catalan mountain villages. The food in the hotels was excellent. I requested vegetarian meals and was very pleased with the dishes that were served. Each walk explored a different valley and started by ascending through forest tracks which led to views of the surrounding mountain ranges. The walks were led by a local mountain guide who was able to take us away from the main tracks and onto the more interesting ones. Transport to and from the walks was provided by a local taxi company. The 4 wheel drive vehicles allowed us to travel further up the mountain roads which gave us time to climb higher into the mountains. The walks could be changed depending on the amount of snow and the fitness level of the group. After three of the walks we visited locals who had chosen to leave Barcelona to earn a living in the mountains which gave an insight into what it is like to live in a remote mountainous area.
