We chose to base Athara Adventures in the Pyrenees because, in our experience, it is impossible to move through the extraordinary landscape without finding a deep sense of connection growing within. From expansive, breathtaking views to gorges and grottos carved by the glaciers to the hospitality and centuries-old history, we discover something that reaffirms our sense of awe and excitement every day. 

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.

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.
