Walks and Climbs in the Pyrenees : Walks, Climbs and Multi-day Treks

This essential guidebook covers over 170 day walks, multi-day treks, climbing routes and mountaineering ascents across the Pyrenees. Spanning all valleys and peaks on both sides of the French-Spanish border, it offers a comprehensive introduction to one of Europe's finest mountain ranges, where active walkers, trekkers and climbers are truly spoilt for choice.

The Pyrenees offer exquisite valleys and passes to wander, with summits of 3000m and more within reach of most hill walkers. The landscape is full of diversity and contrast: Alpine-style peaks, small glaciers, deep gorges and more than a thousand mountain lakes. Known as the 'flower garden of Europe', the range is also home to wildlife species rarely seen elsewhere on the continent.

The guidebook divides the range into 21 sections, including Andorra, the Ordesa National Park, the Carlit Massif, Gavarnie and the Cirque du Lescun. Each area includes practical information on travel, accommodation and mountain refuges, plus sketch mapping. From short half-hour walks to 12-day treks and 25 summits, this authoritative guide—continuously updated and in print since 1978—will help you experience the very best of the Pyrenees.
