Pyrenees - the book covers the entire range France, Spain and
Andorra and there are well over 400 kilometres (250 miles) of
walks in this guide, the equivalent of a coast-to-coast traverse
one of the 'classics' for all serious walkers. But you don't
have to be an expert walker for any of hikes we describe. None
of them requires special skills (under summer conditions) and,
if you are not very fit, simply turn back when you feel like it
(there are short walk suggestions with most of the itineraries).
Experienced and fit walkers will nevertheless find much to
enjoy, for we have included some of the wildest scenery in the
Pyrenees, walked pilgrim routes and World War 2 escape routes,
climbed to summits (like Canigou), enjoyed the habitat of
marmots, vultures and lizards (the Pyrenean chamois), and not
neglected the great and the famous (like the Breche de Roland). |
