The focus of this Wild Mission is exploring the beautiful alpine scenery, natural balconies & forests of the French Pyrenees & the districts beyond. Based in Bagneres-de-Luchon, this tour will introduce you to one of the lesser known but startlingly stunning regions of the Pyrenees, known for its plethora of hiking trails, traditional village life and delicious cuisines. During this Wild Mission, there will be a very strong focus on education, both on the trails and in the comfort of our accommodation afterwards. Over the week Hanny & Graham will naturally share their knowledge on a wide variety of skills to improve your running ability, trail techniques & general fitness, health and well-being.
