Summer holidays and accommodation in the Pyrenees, France

The Pyrenees are spectacular in Summer - 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 the shadowy gorges or tumbling along rocky streambeds, the 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.
