Itinerary
Discover the hidden alpine paradise of Andorra with the Walking in the Pyrenees trip—a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility for experienced travelers seeking moderate activity. This 8-day guided walking tour begins and ends in vibrant Barcelona, then whisks you away to the tranquil mountain village of Soldeu, your base for scenic hikes.
Each day offers a different natural wonder: stroll through the botanical haven of Sorteny Nature Reserve, home to over 700 species of flora; traverse the majestic Andorran valleys, including the picturesque Vall de Riu and the Incles Valley; and explore the glacial wilderness of the UNESCO-listed Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley. These carefully curated walks showcase the Pyrenees’ untouched beauty, from flower-filled meadows to dramatic mountain backdrops.
Accommodations, transport, and meals are all included, providing a seamless and comfortable journey. The unique selling point of this tour package is its focus on lesser-known, pristine landscapes, allowing for peaceful exploration far from the crowds. For those who desire a meditative escape into nature without sacrificing comfort, Walking in the Pyrenees is an inspired choice.
day 1Join trip at Barcelona Airport. Drive to Soldeu
Our trip begins at terminal 2B of Barcelona-El Prat Josep Tarradellas Airport (BCN) at 3.30pm, the latest your flight can arrive is 3pm. Please note that depending on which terminal you arrive into, you might need to take the airport shuttle bus to terminal 2B.
We'll travel together as a group to the small alpine village of Soldeu in the heart of the Andorran Pyrenees, a three-and-a-half hour drive. A popular ski resort, lying 1,710 metres/5,611 feet above sea level, Soldeu is an engaging mix of traditional rural inns, converted farmhouses and lively bars, providing us with an ideal base for our Pyrenean adventure.
After settling into our hotel, we'll hopefully have time for a short orientation walk around the village before dinner. Our base for the week is Hotel Soldeu Maistre, centrally located in Soldeu. This family-run hotel is furnished in the local Catalan style. Built to replicate the mountain lodge look with a stone and wood-panelled exterior the hotel is in keeping with its surroundings.
If your flight arrives earlier in the day, you might have time to wait ahead of our group transfer to Soldeu. You can make the most of this time by exploring Barcelona with its many attractions such as 'La Boqueria' food market, Las Ramblas boulevard lined with bars and restaurants and not to mention the many incredible architectural works of Antoni Gaudi.
