Walks and Climbs in the Pyrenees : Walks, Climbs and Multi-Day Tours

This essential guidebook features over 170 day walks, multi-day tours, climbing routes and mountaineering ascents throughout the Pyrenees. Covering all valleys and peaks on both sides of the French-Spanish border, it provides a comprehensive introduction to one of Europe's finest mountain ranges. This new full-colour edition includes redrawn maps, new photographs, and three additional districts: Lac d'Oo and the Cirque d'Espingo, Vallées de la Pique and du Lis, and Haute Vallée du Garbet.

The active walker, trekker and climber is spoilt for choice in this spectacular landscape. There are exquisite valleys and passes to wander day after day, and summits of 3000m and more within reach of most hill walkers. The range offers remarkable diversity and contrast, from Alpine-style peaks and small glaciers to deep gorges and more than a thousand mountain lakes. Known as the 'flower garden of Europe', the Pyrenees are also home to wildlife species rarely seen elsewhere on the continent.

Since its first edition in 1978, Walks and Climbs in the Pyrenees has become the authoritative guide to the range. Once mysteriously overlooked by mountain enthusiasts, the Pyrenees have now become a focus of attention for outdoor adventurers of all kinds—from walkers and climbers to paragliders, mountain bikers, white-water kayakers, bird-watchers, and butterfly and flower lovers. As an arena for outdoor adventure, the Pyrenees fulfills so many dreams.
