The Pyrenean mountain range, the biggest high mountain ecosystem in the Iberian Peninsula, has something special. They are the mountains I grew up in. The mountains where I put on my first skis when I was 4 years old. The mountains that taught me how to climb. The mountains where I did my first 3,000 metre (9,842 feet) summit. The mountains that I crossed with a bike from coast to coast completely self-sufficiently.
This mountain range saw me laugh, cry, hungry, thirsty and suffer a whole rollercoaster of emotions, and they are still the mountains where I enjoy most of my adventures. I never get tired of them. I particularly like watching sunrises and sunsets from their peaks and I really love watching the stars from my sleeping bag with that feeling of a cold nose but a warm heart: the pleas of my soul to experience life authentically and through vulnerability.
The Pyrenees are huge, but one of the most iconic places is Aigüestortes National Park, located in the northwestern part of the province of Lleida, in Catalonia. For this trip, we did a three day loop, which circled around this amazing national park starting and finishing in Vielha.
