Slow and fast

Last week we had the frenetic pace of a full on multi-activity week and the more laid back pace of the Taster – Valleys and Views holiday.

While the multi-activity crew jumped off rocks into icy canyons, delved in to underground caves, rafted and hot-dogged down rivers, and flew like birds among other things, the Taster group enjoyed some gentle mountain walking and sight-seeing. Everyone enjoyed the sun and the aim of this week was to enjoy ourselves while not sweltering in over 30 degrees of heat. Luckily icy rivers, lakes and shady woods are in abundance here in the Pyrenees, so we all survived!

Icy mountain lakes: ideal for chilling locally brewed beer

This week sees more break-neck paces, with two multi-activity holidays running together. The temperatures are cooling down slightly but the great thing about Bareges is it is hot during the day then cools off at night, so you can get a good night’s sleep, ready for the next day!
