The Pyrenees will give you picture opportunities like nowhere else! And there's more: wander through Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, trek along coastal trails to the San Sebastian lighthouse, bike through pine forests to Begur Castle, and enjoy a meal in a Gothic castle.

The tour was good, the routes appropriate. Would be a big improvement to have a second person supporting the trip -- it was too much for one person to wrangle the van while leading the rides. This left the riders on their own for the first half of routes when we moved between bases, which is not great. Would also be good to be able to call on van support if there are any problems en-route.

Tess was an outstanding guide who made the entire experience both unique and unforgettable. Everything was handled effortlessly, ensuring there was never a dull moment. The holiday flowed smoothly, and from the very start, Tess made sure everyone felt comfortable, and was always ready to help if needed. I would absolutely love to have Tess as a guide again!

It's camping and it's surfing, so we expected that. What we didn't expect, however, was how much fun it would be! 5€ a day unlimited beer and sangria! These guys are crazy!

Explore really shines for people heading out solo - our travelers consistently mention how the guides make everyone feel included while keeping the whole group on track. The itineraries hit a sweet spot between structure and flexibility, so you can join group activities, head off on your own or just relax at the hotel. It's particularly good for first-time solo travelers who want some built-in companionship without feeling stuck in a rigid schedule. ExperiencePlus nails the cycling tour format with clever touches that make a big difference on the road. Their arrow marking system means you can pedal at your own pace without constantly checking maps, and they've clearly put thought into picking routes that connect you with local life. The guides know when to offer support and when to let riders explore independently. We've had some issues reported with Stoke Travel's Andorra Snow Weekend though, specifically around how they handle unexpected problems. Several customers told us they struggled to get clear answers about refunds when weather caused cancellations, and the communication could definitely be better when plans need to change. While the actual snow experience might be fine, their customer service needs work, especially compared to how smoothly Explore and ExperiencePlus manage similar situations.

The ski programs in Andorra have really carved out a niche, with several well-designed options to choose from. Our Soldeu-based tour gets travelers right into the mix of skiing and social time - you'll find yourself swapping stories over drinks with fellow skiers after good days on the slopes. There's also this smart setup that starts in Barcelona and heads to the Andorran runs; first-time skiers love it because the instructors take their time and know how to build confidence step by step. After hitting the slopes, the Caldea thermal spa visits help ease those muscle aches. For those who know their way around black diamonds, we've got tours with off-piste sections and nighttime snowshoe walks under the stars. One of our most popular options splits the day between morning ski runs and afternoon visits to mountain villages, where you can sample local wines and meet the residents.

Spring in the Pyrenees sets up perfectly for mixing activities, where our travelers love combining surf and yoga sessions in San Sebastian, complete with chef-prepared meals each day. The weather makes hiking from St Jean Pied de Port to Logroño particularly pleasant, letting you explore medieval villages and Rioja wine regions at a comfortable pace. Groups tell us they value how the season blends cultural experiences with outdoor pursuits - you can catch morning waves at Zarautz beach and follow up with afternoon pintxos wandering through historic quarters. Over at Sorteny Nature Reserve, the mountain paths showcase more than 700 flowering plant species, while keen bird watchers often spot bearded vultures circling overhead. We've found that art lovers appreciate how active days pair naturally with guided visits to Madrid's Prado Museum, where local art historians share deep knowledge of Spanish masterworks. Costa Brava becomes a cyclist's paradise in spring, when quiet roads wind past medieval towns and mountain climbs feel just right, well before summer visitors fill the routes.

Summer brings out the best in Pyrenees multi-activity programs. Our family-focused tour in Sort gets excellent reviews - parents tell us they love watching their kids grow more confident tackling activities like abseiling at Estaron Canyon and rafting the 'washing machine' rapids on Noguera River. The Costa Brava coastal routes mix cycling with swimming stops, while inland tours include picnic lunches with local specialties like longaniza sausage and farmhouse goat cheese. More active travelers pick the programs combining hiking in Aigues Tortes National Park with technical canyoning. One particularly good tour mixes surfing in Zarautz with yoga sessions and chef-prepared meals - it's perfect for solo travelers who want to meet people while staying active.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn in the Pyrenees brings excellent self-drive tours through Catalonia, where you can take your time exploring places that catch your eye. The routes connect medieval villages and coastal roads, with comfortable 4-star hotels waiting each evening. Our customers love discovering local markets in Palamos and visiting wine cellars around Palafrugell whenever they choose. Mountain passes see fewer visitors in fall, and Costa Brava's coastal views transform with rich autumn hues. Tours combining Madrid with northern Spain work particularly well this time of year - you'll walk through historic sites with art historians, explore Segovia's old quarter and also discover traditional Basque cuisine in San Sebastian. The routes through Andorra and into the South of France showcase seasonal changes across diverse landscapes, from mountain valleys to medieval towns like Carcassonne and Foix. Our guests often tell us how pleasant the cooler temperatures make their explorations, especially when visiting Montserrat Abbey or wandering through the historic streets of Girona.

Which Pyrenees regions are best for different activities?
The French side really shines when it comes to those challenging hikes high mountain passes and spectacular spots like Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. Head to the Spanish Pyrenees and you'll find gentler trails perfect cultural stops like Besalú and Girona plus some fantastic rafting on the Noguera River. Andorra's got it all sorted for winter skiing while families love the hiking routes around their scenic lakes — the Incles Valley leading up to Cabana Sorda Lake is particularly stunning.
What local specialties should I sample during my trip?
Catalonia takes real pride in its food culture and Sort's traditional Catalonian meals starting at €25 are definitely worth checking out. The Basque Country's really where food comes alive though — especially those amazing pintxos (think fancy bar snacks) paired with local Txakoli wine in spots like Bilbao and San Sebastian. Wine lovers should definitely hit the Penedes route in Catalonia where you can tour wineries and sample some fantastic local bottles. Our Sensations of the Basque Country tour lets you dive deep into traditional Basque cooking and proper pintxo culture.
Are there easier walking routes in the Pyrenees for less experienced hikers?
You'll find plenty of gentler options! Andorra's Incles Valley is perfect for easy-going walks along the river up to the beautiful Cabana Sorda Lake. The Camino Frances is another great choice — it's well-marked and you can pick sections that match your fitness level with transfers between stages especially from Viana to Logroño. For something really relaxed try the Carrilet in Girona — it's a car-free path following an old railway line that's perfect for easy walks or cycling which you can experience on our Cycling Girona tour.
How can I experience local culture beyond typical tourist attractions?
For a real taste of local life head to traditional Basque Sidra Houses where unlimited cider flows and multi-course meals create an authentic cultural experience. Stay in family-run spots like the Hotel Soldeu Maistre on our Walking in the Pyrenees tour where local Catalan style gives you that genuine mountain feel. Small mountain villages like Canillo with Andorra's tallest church tower give you a genuine glimpse into everyday Pyrenean life without the tourist crowds.
