Level : (adaptable) for learners, hikers and mountaineers with no fear of heights.  Many of the paths we'll be hiking are poorly or not marked  at all and you have to scramble to get to the best parts.  Two weeks away from it all in the midst of nature; average 1000m of ascent and descent per day. Rhythm : 5 to 6 hours walking per day, 1 rest day.  Ascent of Puig d’Estats from a base camp (thus without a heavy rucksack). Pic d'Estats massif is mineral and "red" as shows this picture. The mountains here go above 3000 metres and belong to the highest in the Pyrenees.  Because peaks are just a few hundred meter higher than the passes and few north-south routes cross here, you can spend days hiking in these mountains without coming across a beaten path.  Of course that explains why the natural beauty of the area has remained so unspoilt. The Pica d'Estats massif is exceptionally beautiful (with wild narcissus and lilies), has a pleasant Mediterranean climate (although some snow is always possible high up !), abundant chamois and also sites from the Spanish civil war.

Pyrenees private guided hikes itinerary : Hiking along unpublished alternative Pyrenean high level route- HRP - paths walking along almost forgotten paths in France, Andorra and Spain.

Day 1 to 3,  Adventure trekking from the French Ariege through Andorra to Spain :

hiking the old Mule path steeply up from Bouychet (928M) in Siguer valley to Jasse de Broquenat an high meadow.

The torrent changes its course often here, passing  lake Peyregrand to what according to "guide" ?? booklets should be the Peyregrand hut.

In facts is an almost ruined and dirty 3 by 4 m thing.

There is an old trail above estany de Sotlo heading for Estany d'Estats (2500M). Base camp, Climbing peak Puig Verdaquer (3125M), Montcalm (3077M) and Pica d'Estats (3114M). One day off at the beautiful Cirque de Sotlo.
