Pyrenees Freedom Trail

Pyrenees Freedom Trail Overview

This beautiful and demanding trek in the Pyrenees takes us from France over the high mountains into Spain. Our route follows the ‘Freedom Trail’, one of the escape routes followed by thousands of allied servicemen and Jewish refugees seeking to escape Nazi-occupied France by fleeing to neutral Spain.

The trek is arduous and steep, taking us through spectacular scenery of cirques, rocky ridges, beech forests and mountain lakes. We walk on remote trails, reaching approx 2500m before we descend into Spain.

Whenever the going gets tough, we have only to think of those who undertook the same paths in fear of their lives to find the determination to continue. This is an incredible trek with a poignant undertone – a personal challenge which also commemorates the bravery of others.
