Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a beginner gaining more experience in the mountains, Athara Adventures offers an array of exhilarating hiking trails in the Pyrenees, suitable for every level of adventure. Below, we explain how we share three hikes that can be scaled to any level but deliver an amazing experience no matter its difficulty.

Spring is in the air, and what better way to embrace this season of renewal than with a group adventure? Athara Adventures, known for its exceptional outdoor experiences, invites you and your group to embark on an unforgettable journey this spring.

While Athara Adventures will guide tours in several locations, we chose to ground our business in the Occitan region of France. The fantastic network of trails, local cuisine, and spectacular views provide plenty of reasons to love the area, but there is another reason to consider visiting this unique region: its long history of comradery and courage.

The Ride of the Five Castles is your chance to have an adventure with jaw-dropping views, heart-pumping climbs, and a delightful, uniquely French experience. The five Cathar castles: Aguilar, Peyrepertuse, Queribus, Puilaurens, and Puivert, once formed the border with Aragon (Spain). Magnificent feats of engineering, these fortresses are candidates for the UNESCO World Heritage List of sites.
