The Central Pyrenees mountain range of the Ariege Midi Pyrenees offer a wide variety of wonderful walking, from the rugged, remote high peaks to gentle walks around lakes. With a little help and some 'inside knowledge' you can discover for yourself stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, refuges, well marked paths; you can escape, relax and enjoy a unique & beautiful wilderness.
Just one hour south of Toulouse, the Ariege Midi Pyrenees mountains and surrounding foothills offer hundreds of miles wonderful, well-marked, quiet walking for all ages, abilities and experience. Rising to 10000 feet, with magnificent scenery, unspoilt beauty, diverse and abundant wildlife, the Central Midi Pyrenees Mountain range are the perfect place to relax and enjoy the great outdoors. This site offers some example routes, holiday advice; the site splits walks into general 'ease of walking' categories (see the links above), taking into account terrain, climb and distance.
After living and walking all year round in the Pyrenees for 6 years, I have a lot of experience of the high mountains, Cathar castle historic walks and lower circular walks. I can offer advice on how & where to use ski lifts and access routes to gain access to the high summits and the refuges to use. Or alternatively I can help you to enjoy the numerous short walks around pretty villages nestling in the Pyrenees foothills. Although a vast, unspoilt area, with impressive, rugged high peaks, the Pyrenees mountains are very accessible for all walkers, whatever your level of fitness and experience. It would take many pages to cover just a few of the walks, so please look at the examples below and on the links at the top of the page, and please contact me for more specific information and advice to help you plan your trip to the Ariege-Pyrenees.
