The Pyrenees are a wild and beautiful place,
with hidden paths winding up to secret lakes, great waterfalls, towering cliffs
and quiet meadows filled with flowers. Deep in Spanish gorges or tumbling along
rocky streambeds, its rivers are the perfect place to experience a canyoning
adventure, and the thrills of white water rafting and kayaking. The handy ski-lifts,
and snaking col-roads also make this area ideal for mountain biking and paragliding,
or just exploring high ridges at an easier pace. You could spend years discovering
everything here, but let us suggest a holiday that will allow you see a little
of everything, without the stress of planning it all for yourself.
