Last week MountainBug ran two levels of walking holiday - our Taster level, Valleys and Views, and then two levels up, our Discoverer- Lakes, Ridges & Cirques.
Our guests had a week of glorious sunshine, which led to a lot of rests in the warmth and even a chilly lake-dip in the Neouvielle Nature Reserve.
While the Taster group enjoyed three days of gentle mountain walking with two days centred around sight-seeing (the weekly regional market at Argeles-Gazost and the Pic du Midi Observatory), our Discoverer guest enjoyed taking the high road for 5 days, climbing peaks, visiting mountain lakes, and reaching over 2,500m most days.
We're not sure who had the best wildlife spot of the week. The Discoverers saw eagles, vultures and marmots but the Taster group saw a snake swimming through a lake with a live frog in its mouth...you decide who wins!
