The Trip
When you think of the Pyrenees, Catalonia might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But it is for us! We’re taking you to a hidden gem in the Catalan Pyrenees: Alt Pirineu Nature Park in the Pallars Sobirà mountain range. Raw, rugged, and wild. Once we’ve left civilization behind for a trek along the border with France and Andorra, the mountains become our home for a week. We won’t know what we’ll encounter along the way until afterward, but the adventure begins where the plan ends. We let ourselves be guided by curiosity, adventure, and the nature around us.
With our home on our backs, we head into the Catalan backcountry for a multi-day backcountry camping trip. Self-sufficient and off the grid. Along the way, we set up camp in the wilderness, spot wildlife, swim in lakes, and climb the highest peaks of Catalonia, enjoying 360-degree views of the mountains.
Outdoor life on the road is simple and only the essentials are the focus. Moving, navigating, overcoming wilderness challenges, cooking food, purifying water, making bivouacs, packing bags, etc. No comforts of a warm house, no full refrigerator or hot water at the touch of a button. But the very simplicity of life on the road makes the experience rich.

Theme and levels
Wild Fitness is the theme of this group trip. and it is important to be physically fit. We hike through steep terrain with alternating between full packs and day packs. A day route with pack contains between 10-15 km with 600 to 1000 altimeters. Sometimes we leave our backpack in camp for a day and do a day hike. We go over moraine terrain, remaining snow fields, grass and rocks. Therefore, a good hiking condition is required for this trip. After 7 days we travel back to the Netherlands wild and fulfilled with an unforgettable experience richer. When in doubt you can always contact us.
