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.

Our goal is for you to fully enjoy your tour and create memories that will last a lifetime!

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.

We often hear from folks who say they would love to experience one of our tours, but are not sure how to gauge their level of fitness. Our response to this is: train hard – hike easy.

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.

There are some items that go into everyone’s pack, no matter the trip, whether hiking or mountain biking. We touch on these in our FAQ’s section, but we’ve fleshed out some of our favorite items here.
