High Mountain in Pyrénées

Description

The departure of our trek is the small mountain village of Comus at an altitude of 1300 m. This wild and authentic place is located on the Plateau of Aillou, a high Pyrenean plateau where the climate, the animal life and the flora are similar to high mountain environment.

At the beginning of our tour we will enjoy the great landscapes of the Plateau of Aillou, a sweet green and mountain panorama that enables to trot and gallop.
The permanent panorama of high and close mountains leads us further and further. Soon the paths become narrow and sloping to accede to the high mountains. Far from the civilization we go in search of an authentic place.
