Walking Holidays in the Pyrenees
With Heidi
ATOL protected holidays
Why choose a Pyrenees hiking holiday?
- Over 430km of wild, uncrowded mountain trails to explore
- Summit Andorra's highest peak and hike into two countries
- Ibex, glacial lakes, and centuries-old trails
Between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, The Pyrenees are Europe’s other great mountain range - and one that still feels properly wild.
Hiking in the Pyrenees will have you threading through cirques, over cols, and into valleys that spill across borders into Catalonia and Ariège. Lifts can still take you up to high-altitude viewpoints and trails, but here, most great hikes start straight from the resorts.
Basing yourself in Andorra’s Arinsal or La Massana gives you access to Comapedrosa Natural Park, the most remote and rewarding corner for hiking in the Andorran Pyrenees. It also puts you within easy reach of fan favourites - the Tristania Lake and the Comapedrosa Highlands waterfalls.
Fewer crowds, more mountain. That's hiking in the Pyrenees.

How to get around on your trip
How our self-guided Pyrenees walking holidays work:
Our self-guided trips let you set your own pace, from the length of your stay, to how far you walk each day. But if you’re used to group or guided holidays, you might be wondering how you’ll get around? Well, it’s easy…
Getting to resort from the airport:
You can leave this bit to us. When booking, choose either a shared or private transfer and you’ll be whisked from the airport to your resort.
Getting to your walks and hikes:
Most gondolas that work all winter for ski holidays, work all summer too, often well into autumn. So unless you want to, you don’t need to start your walks from the mountain base, you can easily catch a lift to the trailhead.

Your questions answered by our Pyrenees hiking holiday expert
Can I hire a mountain guide on my Pyrenees Hiking holiday?
Yes, you can. Guided walking or hiking tours are available at most resorts across the Pyrenees.
Though these are not currently bookable via the Heidi website, you can enquire and book with your resort's local tourist office upon arrival, or visit their website. What's more, you can even get discounts when using your free Summer Card*. We recommend booking early to ensure availability.
* Summer Card included for free with stays at select hotels and accommodations.
How do I get to the starting point of walks and hikes?
Most resorts have a great network of local buses and trains that can link you up to the starting point of hikes and trails as well as neighbouring resorts, giving you plenty to explore with ease.
We recommend checking out maps and timetables for bus and train routes with the resort’s local tourist office or on their website.
Can I still access lift and gondolas in the summer?
Yes, you can. Lifts and gondolas still operate throughout the summer months, provided conditions are safe and favourable, and many of the mountain bars and eateries you’d find on a skiing holiday still operate during these warmer months.
Even better, with your free Summer Card*, you can get great discounts and even free access to many of these lifts and gondola routes.
* Summer Card included for free with stays at select hotels and accommodations.
What's included with my Summer Card?
What's a Summer Card? Glad you asked!
Complimentary with most hotel stays, this little pass helps you get more mountain for your money. It includes lift rides, lake and lido swimming, bike rentals, local transportation, guided walks, cycle tours, and much more.
Some activities are free with the card; others are discounted—it depends on the resort. Keep an eye out for the Summer Card symbol to see which hotels offer it and what benefits you can receive.
