4×4 Excursion in the Pyrenees (5 Days)

On reaching Barcelona we will have a short briefing and will sign up for the vehicles.

We will start out northwards to the Collsecabra area which is in the heart of Catalunya and is characterized by steep cliffs, forests, isolated farms, ancient villages and more.

We will visit the ancient village of Rupit, going back in time several centuries. We will wander along the twisting picturesque alleys, among beauty spots and houses over 500 years old. This magical village is still inhabited, but hordes of tourists will not be found here as in Barcelona and therefore the human contact you will experience will be more personal.

We will continue, off-road driving in the forest in the Collsecabra area, going towards Panta de Sau , where taking part in two exciting activities will be offered:

1. Off-road Segway – An off-road ride along paths in forest, mud and even snow. This vehicle is light and easy and blends perfectly with nature and the landscape.

2. Kayaking – What could be more soothing and pleasant than rowing on an enchanted lake surrounded by nature at its most beautiful, breathtaking views and…such silence? The dammed lake of the Ter river supplies all this.

We will end the day with dinner in the village. Lodging will be in the area.

After breakfast we will continue northwards and westwards to the El Cadi Moixero range. The Cerdanya and High Pyrenees region lie beyond this range. We will carry on towards the ranges bordering Andorra, and will reach high observation points from which we will gaze on the valleys spread out far away beneath us while being surrounded by mountains. Weather permitting we will take a short trek to one of the lakes “imprisoned” in the region.

We will drive over the La Rabbassa pass (the smugglers route) which will take us into the Principality of Andorra – through the back door.

Dinner and lodging will be enjoyed in a mountain hotel in Andorra.

The morning will begin with an adrenaline-filled activity – “canyoning “. The Pyrenees region is among the best places for this popular sport of gliding down canyons. This gliding is safe and is carried out with close instruction and special equipment and requires no previous experience or expertise. The verdant gorges in the canyon have a mystic halo of beauty that makes this adventure unforgettable to both nature lovers and to those who love the feel of adrenaline coursing through their blood.

For those who prefer adrenaline of a different type –  free time in the center of Andorra with duty-free shopping and good coffee is also a possibility.

Later in the day we will leave Andorra and drive off-road to the Pallaresa valley, also known as the Valley of the Horses, dotted with waterfalls, lakes and mountain ranges. We will drive up along the ranges enjoying the spectacular views with the odd farm here and there, verdant forests and enormous green pastures with bell-carrying cows.

Our dinner and lodging will be in the town of Sort.

We will begin our day with rough and exciting Rafting… Rushing waters, fantastic scenery and great fun – could you ask for more? This exciting, challenging and highly enjoyable activity takes place on the breathtakingly beautiful Noguera Pallaresa river. Here we take into account more than just the rafting itself, one cannot forget the surroundings in the process – the wild scenery, the varied flora, the cliffs and all the excitement of nature.

Wet-suits and safety equipment will keep you safe and warm, and the professional team of guides will ensure your safe arrival at the finishing point. No previous experience is necessary, nor is taking part compulsory (though it is highly recommended!).

After the rafting and after some light refreshment we will continue our route along the glorious panorama of the valley and go up (off-road) to a observation point high in the Pyrenees

Our day will begin with some rough and exciting Rafting – raging water, amazing scenery and a lot of fun – what more could be desired? This exciting and refreshing activity – professional rafting – will take place on the Noguera Pallaresa River the beauty of which is breathtaking. The experience is not only the rafting itself but the surroundings as well – the wild nature, the vegetation and the mighty cliffs.

Wet-suits, helmets and safety equipment will keep you warm and safe and the experienced professional team will ensure your safe arrival at the finish. Participation is not compulsory but is highly recommended!

After a short rest we will continue, driving through the valley and enjoying the view. We will climb off-road to a vantage point overlooking the Pyrenees, and will drive along a road that crosses the ranges. We will be enchanted by the scenery of verdant forests and green fields where bell carrying cows graze and with the odd isolated farm here and there. At this point we will bid farewell to the Pyrenees, return to the road and make our way to Barcelona which we will reach in the late hours of the evening.
