Hiking festivals 2023
The Pyrenees Hiking Festivals are a territorial cooperation initiative, which are carried out throughout the Pyrenees, with the aim of promoting hiking as a healthy and sustainable leisure activity. The local interpreting guides will discover the natural and cultural heritage of the territories of the Pyrenees, all accompanied by a tasting of local products.
Lasting between two and seven days, the festivals offer guided tours at lower than usual prices. They are, therefore, an excellent opportunity to enjoy the services of local guides who will discover the most real, authentic and often unknown face of various corners of the Pyrenees.
The festivals combine itineraries for families and seniors that follow simple paths and proposals for those more accustomed to traveling long distances. In addition to the walking routes, the programmed activities also allow you to get to know the local culture and gastronomy: product tastings, visits to museums, concerts or workshops are the ideal complement.
The best way to reconnect with the Pyrenees!
This year 2023, 12 festivals will be held throughout the Pyrenees, the 4 Hiking Festivals in Girona regions are:
Garrotxa Volcanic Walking
La Garrotxa is a land of volcanoes and lava flows, picture-postcard towns, charming forests, rural landscapes and exquisite gastronomy. Calm walks through the Volcanic Zone Natural Park are combined with more demanding routes through the rugged terrain of Alta Garrotxa.
Cerdanya Happy Walking
La Cerdanya is a region that needs no introduction, but can still surprise with some of its many charms. Hikers will find a very extensive network of paths and a pleasant climate for walking.
Ripolles Discovery Walking
Ripollès is a region in which to discover the traces of ancient culture, with monasteries, Romanesque churches and shepherds' huts. In the Ribes and Camprodon valleys, the Cabeceras del Ter and Freser Natural Park protects natural sites of great value.
Alt Empordà Sea Walking
In the Empordà, the Pyrenees meet the sea. The Alberes and the Sierra de Rodes are the first territories that see the sun when it rises and are magnificent spaces for hiking due to the scenic beauty of their landscapes, many of them protected, and the extensive network of paths.
