When it comes to the Pyrenees, most travelers immediately conjure images of majestic peaks and picturesque valleys. However, beyond the well-trodden paths and popular destinations, lies a treasure trove of hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

Mountain biking is a dynamic sport that requires the mastery of riding skills, fitness, and knowledge of equipment. It can be difficult to clearly determine what level you are at with all these considerations, however, with honest self-assessment it will make it easier for you to really own where you are in your personal riding journey.

Athara Adventures strives to make attending our tours a seamless experience. One way in which we do this is through our payment plan and automatic billing features.

This tour combines three beautiful, shorter, and easier hikes spaced apart with visits to historic sites that date back over 1,000 years, local markets that still have a distinctly medieval feel, uniquely delicious local food, and local vineyards for regional wine tastings.

Join co-founder Seoka Salstrom at Fjällräven Seaport on April 7 for an evening of food, wine, and giveaways as she talks about the ins and outs of packing for a multi-day adventure!

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.

Join Athara Adventures co-founder Seoka Salstrom on Friday, March 3, 2023 at Omer and Bob’s in Hanover, NH to learn more about what our new business has planned and how you can join in on the adventure! Light snacks and beverages of the French Pyrenees region will be served. RSVPs requested. See you there!

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.

Athara Adventures ranks our hiking trips from one to five. Here, we explain the general benchmarks for how we level each tour so you can pick which one fits you best.
