The Pyrenees mountain range separates the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe, stretching more than 430km between Spain and France and rising higher than 3400m in elevation. The Pyrenees are a relatively young mountain belt, being part of the Alpine mountain chain, but contains much older rocks than the Alps.
The Pyrenees contain some of Europe’s finest wild landscapes, of immense appeal not only to walkers but also to birdwatchers, butterflies and flower lovers. There’s acres of alpine flowers of such rich variety which carpet the beautiful meadows and valleys.
The Pyrenees has a vast network of very good trails and paths which connect mountain villages, valleys and mountain passes. It’s an absolute walkers paradise and with 360 degree vistas as far as the eye can see.
The Pyrenees has it all, from towering majestic mountains, rolling hillsides, beautiful forests, carpeted meadows of flowers and an abundance of cascading rivers and waterfalls.
The Pyrenees are not easy to access by air, it involves a good drive to access them which is why they are unspoilt and not crowded unspoilt and not crowded.
