Today's hike was very strenuous for me and for the first time on this hiking holiday my knees hurt. But it was so beautiful, one of the most beautiful hikes we have done in the Pyrenees so far. The ascent was very demanding, just like the descent. Many rocks had to be overcome. But in return, we went

Our hike of the Pyrenees tour today started in Andorra in Soldeu at the hotel, led us down the road and then into a very alpine-looking side valley. After four kilometers, the group split up, one part went up the mountain, we continued through the valley to a bridge and started the way back from there

Today we changed countries. On the way to Andorra, we did a hike in a beautiful valley, which involved a lot of ups and downs. On one ascent, we had to prove our climbing skills; the steep climb was secured with chains that you could pull yourself up on. Of course, it was very hot again. After the hike

Today was a day free of hiking for recovery. With a small group, we still did a relaxed tour to the Eltz Castle ruin in Aigües Tortes National Park. A relaxed hike without special challenges, which was fun. Since we are continuing to Andorra tomorrow, there were of course some tapas and some Cerveza

Today we started again with the Jeep shuttle to the Sant Maurici reservoir and from there we hiked up to about 2200m through the really beautiful Vall de Monastri. After lunch, part of the group climbed further. For me, reason had to prevail over desire, as it would not have been good for my heart at

The next hike of the Pyrenees hiking week first took us by jeep into the area of the Aigues Tortes National Park. Starting at the Sant Maurici reservoir, we first went up to the lower viewing platform of the Raton waterfall, further uphill to the upper edge of the waterfall, then to another small lake

Today we went from France to Spain in the Pyrenees. On the way to Espot, we hiked through three villages in the truly beautiful Val d'Aran. The big climb naturally came at the end. Again in actually very hot weather, but the majority of the hike took place in bearable shade.

At temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius, this hike, which leads through the Valle de Lys, is the right choice due to its shady paths and the frequent spray from the cascades, which make the temperatures bearable.
Through enchanted forest paths with lots of ferns and moss, it goes uphill in serpentines

The second hike of the Pyrenees hike went from Bourg d'Oueil over the Col de Pierrefitte to Lac de Borderes. Again a very beautiful hike on the French side of the Pyrenees .
Despite the heat of about 30 degrees, the sweaty ascent was quite manageable!
As it is a nature reserve, we were unfortunately not

The first day of hiking on my hiking vacation in the Pyrenees. Today, on the first hiking day, we went to the Lac d'Oô in the Luchon area. After reaching the refuge by the lake, it was still quite a tough climb uphill to the waterfall, which can be seen in the pictures.
With over 30 degrees and blazing

Our final hike took us to the northwest of Andorra in the Ordino Valley. A completely different mountain landscape again. Since it was the last hike, many others from the travel group, besides myself, only did a few final kilometers and enjoyed the sun at Refugio Borda.
