What's the itinerary?

Our itinerary will remain very flexible so that we can ensure that we meet the individual and group objectives of each person who joins this adventure. However, please find below a taste of what you can expect.

4 October - Day 1: Fly to Toulouse – transfer to Luchon

We’ll collect you from Toulouse airport to transfer to the charming spa town of Luchon nestled in the Pyrenees mountains, where you’ll have time to settle into your guest house. Depending on time, we may have time for a short local wander to stretch the legs and settle into your scenic surroundings before a delicious home-cooked meal at your guesthouse. (D)

5 October - Day 2: Lac de Bareilles

After a hearty breakfast we’ll be heading up to the tucked away ski resort of Bourg d’Ouiel to the beginning of our walk up to the Lac de Bareilles. We’ll be passing through ancient farmlands where we may still come across flocks of sheep before heading on up to the Col de Peyrefitte [1859m] where the views stretch for miles in every direction. We then follow a gentle downhill to Lac de Bareilles where keen swimmers may want to take a cooling dip. After a relaxing couple of hours, we’ll meander back to Bourg d’ouiel before returning to our guesthouse for a locally-sourced dinner. (BLD)

6 October - Day 3: Superbagneres – Grange D’astau

Today we’ll be trekking along a section of the famed GR10, the long distance footpath which links the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of France. After a transfer up to the local ski resort of Superbagneres, we set off trekking up to Col de la Coume de la Bourg and over to Col d’Espingo. Here we will be treated to truly breath-taking views over the range of nearby 3000m peaks and the chance to see plenty of griffon vultures circling the skies. And if we are lucky, we may even spot lammergeiers and Egyptian or golden eagles who are also native to the Pyrenees. We’ll be picked up at the Grange d’Astau to head back to base for dinner and rest. (BLD)

7 October - Day 4: Hospice de France

We’ll be heading up to the Hospice de France, a picturesque ancient travellers rest which sits at the bottom of the Port de Venasque. The Port de Venasque marks the border between France and Spain and has been used from time immemorial as a pedestrian route between the two countries, and through the war as one of the less trodden escape routes. There are a variety of beautiful walks from the Hospice and depending on how everyone’s feeling we’ll choose a route that suits the team. We’ll transfer back to our guesthouse before heading out into the local town of Bagneres de Luchon for a final dinner and celebration in France. (BL)

8 October - Day 5: Transfer to Toulouse and fly home

Depending on your flight times you can spend the morning relaxing in Luchon, feasting on crepes and galettes or souvenir shopping, the morning is yours!

We will let you know of the departure timings, and transfer later in the day to Toulouse Airport for our flights home. (B)

Which coach will I work with?

Over the course of the trip you will work with both Kaley and Harriet. Each of them will lead coaching activities for the group. However, coaching relies heavily on the rapport of the coach and the coachee so we will always ensure that your choice is taken into consideration when it comes to 1 to 1 coaching so that you are able to work with the coach who resonates with you the most and with whom you feel you will get the best results.

What do you mean by 'coaching activities'?

We will use group coaching methods to really capitalise on the learnings we have from the mountain. This might mean some journalling exercises, group conversations, shared guided mediation or other activities. These will depend on the dynamic of the group and will be carefully planned to ensure that we support each individual to meet their aims. All we ask is that you come to them with a willingness to be vulnerable, authentic and open.
