Pyrenees Hiking From Barcelona

Terrific tour. Terrific guide/driver. Vladimir was a great guide for this hike. Very nice, informative, and patient guide. We had a great time and the views along and at the top of the hike were tremendous. We loved it.

Very good trip, Ferran was a very knowledgeable and experienced guide. Being on a less crowded path was nice too, and Ferran is flexible on pace and location of the hike. Would recommend to friends.

The views were absolutely beautiful! An unforgettable hike using snow shoes for the first time. It was worth it.

I had an amazing time hiking in the Pyrenees with Ferran! He provided great explanations of local Catalan culture and the unique biology of the forests in the Pyrenees, and speaks impeccable English in addition to Spanish and Catalan. We hiked ~8-9 miles and around 1800 feet of elevation gain in about 5 hours, with several breaks for mushroom-hunting (we found many chanterelles). Would definitely recommend for hikers of all abilities.

It’s an amazing part of the world. Vladimir is a nice guy and I recommend him. It’s great to get out into nature and give you a different perspective to the region you’re visiting.

This is for fit hikers interested in serious hiking. This is not an easy/moderate hiking experience for sometime hikers.

The plan was to complete this hike, however, weather did not hold up, but Vladimir came through! He provided us with other great options for us to choose from. Would recommend this hike and Vladimir to anyone!

All we were hoping for - a portal-to-portal fun challenge hiking to a Pyrenees mountain top, with great views!

This was such an incredible day! The hike was challenging but the views were more rewarding than I ever could have imagined. We climbed 3 mountain summits and saw the most incredible 360 degree views of the Pyrenees mountains. Pere was an excellent tour guide and provided us with all the necessary equipment we needed, including snow shoes which he taught us how to use! The tour was private and small (my boyfriend and I plus a mother and her son), which made the hike even more special. Pere knew so much information about the history of the Pyrenees and the surrounding areas, and he also knew the mountains well enough to suggest the perfect route for our group based on our abilities and the current weather conditions. This experience was better than I ever could have imagined!

We had an excellent time on our hike with Pere to Gallina Pelada. He was knowledgeable, friendly and took the time to answer any questions we had. Pere made sure we had the right equipment (and nourishment) before heading out and his enthusiasm made him fun to hike with. Our hike wasn’t easy (snow, rocks, and 1000’ of elevation change) but was worth the effort for the amazing summit and views of the Pyrenees. Pere’s door to door service was a huge bonus and we would not hesitate to recommend him for other hikers.

this was a wonderful hike pretty challenging. Our guide picked us up promptly at our hotel in Barcelona. Then we drove about an hour and a half to a small little café to review our trail choices. We were able to get a cup of coffee and a sandwich for the hike. The hike we chose was a little more challenging for me so I had to stop and rest while my friend actually did the summit ha ha.

Pere was so kind and patient and shared his love and knowledge on the drive and hike. One other guest much younger and stronger than me but it was perfect. He made sure we stayed hydrated and fed and warm. It snowed for a few minutes on our resent! Had never been above the tree line and it was spectacular. Pere gently held my hand and led me down the difficult areas then released my hand when it was safe. Stayed at the hut while they summitted Gallina Pelada as the weather was ominous. It was the perfect way to end my trip to Barcelona. I would not hesitate to recommend this or do it again. Thank you so much Pere. It was amazing.

Pere was the most amazing, helpful, and supportive guide I could have asked for. He was very safety conscious, informative, and passionate about mountaineering. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

Petre was an amazing guide. Not only did he provide a wonderful hike, he also included some visits to the ancient monasteries in the are. The hike was strenuous, however, he always was aware of our skills and abilities.

Nothing like a good hike with splendid views and a motivating guide! The snow certainly did not stop us from reaching the goal and it was definitely worth it!

By far one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life thus far! Pere is an exceptional leader! The climb is both mental and physical. He’s you cheerleader as well as a trekking coach! I wish that I could stay longer to adventure more with his offerings! I came all the way to Barcelona only for this trek! It did not disappoint! Pere’s view of the mountains was refreshingly shared! Pere thank you so much! I sincerely hope to experience your walks again! #gratitude

Pere was a our fabulous tour guide. 10 out of 10 experience. The terrain was a little difficult for me, but he was sure to set a steady and safe pace for us to ascend up the mountain. Definitely bring hiking boots on this hike. The views are gorgeous. Our trip to Barcelona wouldn’t have been the same if we didn’t book this hike. Thank you again Pere for an amazing day!

I was a bit hesitate to book as I am a young women traveling alone looking to hike in another country. I am so glad to of found Pere! He balanced the right amount of history/talking/jokes & allowed for personal reflection- internally it was a physically & mentally challenging hike- I would not of made it to the top if I was alone! He truly was a guide! I would say to look no further and go with Pere- a definite highlight of my trip!

Efficient communication and the pick up was on time. Our guide Pere is a rock climber and hiker so he was well aware of the area. There were three options for hiking - we took the 5 hour hike due to the weather. Suggest that you bring warm clothes because the temperature is much lower than in Barcelona and there is quite a bit of wind at the higher elevations. We were not as prepared as necessary but luckily Pere comes prepared and supplied us with slightly warmer jackets, gloves and walking sticks. The hike is challenging but Pere gauges your abilities and offer options so the hike can be as challenging as you wish. Highly recommend this trip if you want to get outside the city, are into hiking and want to see a beautiful part of Catalonia.

Pere was a great guide! He delivered a great balance between being high energy and informative and also giving a respectful distance to allow solitude and a personal experience. I was very impressed with how he took safety into consideration without being too pushy ie making sure we were dressed warm enough, reviewing weather and providing appropriate options and ensuring we had a great snack at the summit. Pere was very patient with my wife and I's many, many questions, he was happy to provide information about the environment, history and culture. Pere was on time, he was a great photographer and went out of his way to help us integrate with locals that we came across. Thanks again Pere!

Pere (Peter) was fantastic and he is everything one looks for in a guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and qualified and he customized the hiking based on my ability and preferences and the weather conditions. He was patient and helpful, and his mountaineering experience enables him to guide individuals at varying levels of experience. Our hike on Monday was about half without snowshoes and half wearing snowshoes (a first for me). The drive from Barcelona was about two hours each way, including time for a cup of coffee. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in getting out of Barcelona into some beautiful areas of the Pyrenees with a terrific guide.
