High High High.... High High !!! - Multi activity Trip
0 ½ weeks: UK to The Pyrenees Orientales (H)
Thrills and spills in France’s sunniest regionThis holiday was a complete sell out last year and with good reason. Great scenery and high adrenaline activities combine here in France’s sunniest region.
”The organisation and hospitality were excellent.” Nicola Potz - May 2006
Accommodation
We stay at a beautifully renovated farmhouse in the tiny hamlet of Esposouille. Great home cooking and local wine included in the price.
Itineraries
SaturdayArrival and Introduction
Transfer from Barcelona airport to our accommodation in Esposouille. After checking in we have an introductory meeting followed by dinner.
Morining
Gorges de la Caranca.
With wonderful views of the gorge and surrounding area we follow a path cut into the cliff face, this is not your average walk. Spectacular!
Afternoon
Mountain Biking.
We start at an altitude of 2100m and descend 17km into the beautiful Spanish town of Llivia where we finish with a visit to a local tapas bar. Thankfully transport is provided back up the mountain!
Morning
Tandem Paraglide Flight
The French Pyrenees offer a perfect setting for paragliding with great thermals and excellent weather conditions. Rarely seen views of France, Spain and Andorra add to this exhilarating experience, not to be missed.
Afternoon
Canyoning
We head for one of two excellent canyons depending on the weather conditions. At Thues there is the fascinating experience of “hot canyoning” descending into warm thermal waters. Alternatively, the Porte Puymorens canyon offers great slides, abseils and an 11m jump!
Morning
Via Ferrata, Thermal Baths & Depart
Via Ferrata is a network of cables, obstacles, ladders and bridges built into the mountainside which allow you to explore areas usually reserved for only the serious mountaineer (a head for heights is a must!)
After our adrenaline fuelled climb, we visit the local thermal baths for a relaxing dip before returning to the airport for your return flights.
