A Guide for Visiting the Spanish Pyrenees of Catalonia

10 things to do and see

Description of Pyrenees & Pre-Pyrenees

The Catalan Pyrenees mountains are a beautiful place to go to escape the summer heat of Barcelona and to do winter sports such as skiing or snow shoe hiking. The Pyrenees has two resorts that are easily accessible by train - Vall de Nuria and La Molina.

On this page I provide a summary of activities to do in the Pyrenees with my walking trails and detailed getting to guides. I also have included the area of pre-Pyrenees which are small mountains before the Pyrenees with rivers, waterfalls and meadows for hiking, camping and swimming

Happy Exploring!
