A resource book covering the finest walks, treks and climbs in the
High Pyrenees for 400km between France and Spain, from the Cirque de
Lescun, on the edge of the Basque country in the west, to the Carlit
massif and the Cerdagne to the east of Andorra. The book is divided
into five regional chapters: the Western Valleys; Cirques and Canyons;
the Central Pyrenees; Enchanted Mountains; and Andorra and the Eastern
High Pyrenees. Intended as a resource book for those planning a range
of mountain activities in the Pyrenees, the guide describes each area
valley by valley, and provides information on access and
accommodation, as well as recommended maps and guidebooks. Unlike a
conventional walking book, detailed route descriptions are not
included; the guide does, however, direct the reader to the finest
walks, treks and climbs in the area and provide an outline of
specially selected routes. An extensive introduction gives all the
practical advice and information needed for planning a trip. It offers
a background to the mountains and their exploration, and provides a
snapshot of the range with sections that help the reader focus on
specific areas of activity, and suggests where best to exercise that
activity.
