This is the second time we go with Inntravel as we had very good experience the first time. Very responsive staff, professional documentation. The routes are not too difficult (in many cases there are options) and accommodation are generally of a good standard, allowing us to relax after the walk.
Specially enjoyed the final walk from Setcases to Mollo with fantastic views in all directions.
The final hike was spectacular. All the hikes were good although we did not enjoy spending a lot of the hike down to Setcases along a busy road.
All the hotels were excellent, our favorite being Grèvol. However, The best creme brûlée was at Els Caçadors.
We met another couple on the same itinerary whom we enjoyed spending time with.

Overall, we really enjoyed the holiday and thank Inntravel for its organisation. The walking went very well and the maps and tips were most helpful.
Great holiday but just a couple of errors in the notes. Maybe a further walk through required to update notes.
Every day of this holiday walking adventure was a delight. We loved the variety of routes and the challenges of finding our way using the very detailed route notes. The scenery and vistas were amazing! We loved the small villages that we walked through or stayed in. We were so impressed with how clean and well maintained the villages were. The villages in September were very quiet - with very few tourists. We loved taking this break from humanity. We would highly recommend buying a waterproof map holder that you can hang around your neck. We bought from Yumqua. You will find that you need to read the route directions continually and they need to be at the ready. Also, occassionally you need to refer to a compass. Make sure your compass has numbers on it - not all compasses do. We are already thinking about our next Inntravel experience.
All the walks had their glorious moments, but the walk from Setcases to Mollo was the best, with such a variety of landscapes and challenges. Our first glimpse of the breathtaking landscape spread below us at the Collada de Lliens was unforgettable, and so was walking to our hotel through the streets of Mollo in the late afternoon sunshine, delighted, just a little tired and looking forward to a well-earned ice-cold beer!
Lovely holiday, good accommodation and one or two particularly spectacular walks - especially the walk down from Nuria to Queralbs at Ribes and the high pastures of the Coma de L'Orri at Setcases - simply wonderful. As previously, all hotel and travel arrangements worked like clockwork.
We had a fantastic time on our first hiking vacation with Inntravel. The hikes were challenging with difficult uphill climbs and at times technical downhill sections. For the ups and downs, we were rewarded with a spectacular variety of scenery. The small Spanish towns were charming and the hotels were perfect. The food was excellent and with 3 course meals every night we probably gained weight. We will be looking into future vacations with Inntravel.
We were very happy with the holiday in every respect, from the booking and information supplied to the choice of hotels and walking routes. Altogether a wonderful experience.
The cog train trip to Nuria is well worth the time, and then a telecabina (gondola) ride up to the lookout at Pic de l'Aliga. The walk down to Queralbs provides beautiful views and is easy to follow, but the rocky trail is challenging and requires tightly laced footwear. On the walk from Coll de la Marrana to Setcases we observed two herds of Isard (Chamois) amounting to 190 animals: an exciting experience. On this steeply downhill walk, tie shoelaces tightly and follow the cairns. On both these downhill trails, a good walking stick is invaluable.
Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday, a good mixture of landscapes from upland grazing, forest pastures, forests to high tops. For folks who like high tops, a good walk from Nuria is to go along the TRF (goes north, then west, then north, a green line on the map) up to the Spain/French border at Coll d'Eina - but need to catch an early train to have plenty of time. Similarly, thoroughly recommend Bastiments for great views north and south if the weather is up for it. In the notes, it mentioned 'herds of chamois' in the Coma de L'Orri - I took this for poetic licence until we found a total of 147 in three herds, the largest being nearly a hundred - and excellent views.
We did enjoy the holiday but the Hotel Grevol was disappointing - excellent facilities let down by the food and coffee. 50% of the walking was great but there needs to be more of the route on footpaths which we think would be possible.
Loved the walk. Thank you. Could not fault the entire holiday. There is quite a bit of down time between the daily walk's end and the evening meal. Suggest taking kindle, cards, scrabble or other entertainment for the quiet times.
We enjoyed the descent down the gorge to Queralbs albeit in a thunderstorm! Camprodon is worth a visit. The high walk whilst in Setcases was spectacular, marmots & chamois much in evidence. Like many other Inntravel clients we loved the final walk from Setcases to Mollo-be prepared for a steep climb! The villages, especially Setcases are very attractive and clean and the hotels and food were on the whole good.
It truly was a most extraordinary adventure. Each day brought new discoveries, amazing vistas, challenging hikes and rewarding finishes. Our first evening we spent at Ribes de Fraser town center and were treated to a gathering with music and dancing. Núria was spectacular and the hike back down a great kickoff. The hike from Ribes de Fraser to Llanars was the most challenging but also the most personally rewarding. Setcases was an exceptional little town and the folks at La Como were excellent. It seems setting out just after breakfast each day allowed us to get to our destinations before any rain. Getting into Setcases, after gathering at the pool, the skies opened up to an incredible hailstorm. We shared beverage and stories under an awning as the hail came down. An incredible adventure - we would recommend this itinerary and Inntravel to all. Thanks to the Inntravel team and all the folks along the journey - we really had a memorable experience.
Well organised holiday The Hotel Grevol is a "gem"! We experienced thunderstorms and heavy rain but sunshine and blue skies, too, with beautiful views wildflowers, birds and buttereflies.The staff at all the hotels we stayed at went out of their way to assist our every need and we would definitely book another walking trip with Inntravel.
Our first holiday with Inntravel and everything about the holiday exceeded our expectations. The hotels were all different and very charming, food was of a good standard and we were made welcome. Two of them having free access to a spa was nice after a day walking. The walks were all varied and views were breathtaking, nice challenging walks which were very rewarding and well described in the walking notes. Taxi arrangements, train tickets and baggage transfers all effortless. Meals all of a good standard and hearty packed lunches. Would highly recommend and our only issue now is deciding which walking holiday to do next!
The mornings were very hard going but we expected this. The routes were generally easy to follow and were bang up to date, but great care was needed leaving Pardines and we thought the sequence of left and right turns could be more clearly described. Walkers should be advised to wear long trousers and long sleeves if following the suggested route up to Sant Antoni as this is very overgrown and thorny. Views fantastic throughout. We saw only two birds of prey and no marmots during six days of walking, but the smaller birds and butterflies were plentiful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our walks on wide and narrow, occasionally invisible tracks, amidst the snow-capped mountains, past waterfalls, through green pastures carpeted with a great variety of interesting colourful alpine flowers and dark green pine forests all contrasting with the azure blue sky. We have balanced on many stony rocks in order to cross streams, waded through mud, brushed through overhanging pine branches, squeezed though overgrown bushes, made detours to avoid nursing cows and horses congregating on our paths and negotiated unavoidable large sections on icy (but not too dangerous) steep slopes. We encountered birds of prey, marmots, occasionally a few other humans and on day 5 lots of chamois. The views were stunning, the villages with their old Romanesque churches and bridges charming and the hotels welcoming especially when arriving back from the day’s hike. Great holiday.
Early June was a great time to go as the wildflowers were amazing.
My wife and I enjoyed traveling at our own pace through what in early June was a peaceful, non-touristy part of the Pyrenees. The small villages were interesting, and we enjoyed the hotels. As someone who plans our trips and arranges the details independently, I liked having the staff at Inntravel use their knowledge to arrange all of the details for us. The suggestion of train times at the beginning and end of the trip, arranging for taxis, and having us feel very welcomed at the hotels was quite nice. Our next Inntravel hiking week in Austria has already been booked.
