Adventure trekking outdoors
or backpacking or just walking the Pyrenees
Levels of difficulty.
Our outdoor and
adventure Pyrenees trekking and hikes are classified
according to the level of fitness required at the start and in such a
way that each hike can
help you improve
your shape.
Mountain hikes
and backpacking are a like a natural
keep-fit course :
In 2
weeks trekking you can turn excess fat into lean
muscle!
You can
improve strength and stamina, and also suppleness, because the hikes go
through mountain
terrain. The Pyrenees are more tough to walk and offer a nice
pleasant fitness training. Needless to say, your natural beauty
returns.
Our Pyrenees hikes grading
is as follows :
- Walker : * novice who would like to hike in the
mountains but has little training. He/she cannot yet read a map
and would lose his/her way. If nevertheless you're looking for adventure prefer asking Richard's Pyrenees Guide Service for a made to measure hike

least twice a week but has little experience of ascents and descents,
walking on other than paths, crossing snowfields or screens, or
orientation in the mountains, consider Richard's Pyrenees Guide Service

other than paths, crossing snowfields or screens, can navigate and
knows his/her limits,
- Mountaineer : ****experienced all-season mountain hiker able to
