End of season

End of season

The summer season is now over and autumn has truly arrived.

We had two different trips running for our last week of the season – one in the French High Pyrenees and one in the Spanish Pyrenees in Aragon.

Despite what looked like a shaky start with some rain, both trips had fantastic sunshine and our “bring hat and gloves” warnings seemed a bit doom and gloom in retrospect.

We’re now writing our end of season round up newsletter. If you’d like to receive it, please visit our website and sign up to it.

As the last of our guests left, the weather took a cold turn. The sheep and cows have been brought down from the mountains and are grazing in the lower meadows. The autumn lambs and calves are happily trotting around the fields, as the leaves turn golden brown, and birds of prey are hopefully circling near them. Because there is more moisture in the air, we are seeing fantastic low cloud formations, with banks of fluffy cloud suspended in the valleys.The peaks are getting dustings of snow already, which isn’t melting as the freezing line keeps dropping.

We’re already taking bookings for the winter season (and summer next year!) for ski accommodation, snow-shoeing, ski-touring and off-piste.

Enjoy some of our off-season autumn photos and we’ll keep you up to date with MountainBug news throughout the off period, as well as answering our phones and emails.
