How this holiday makes a difference

Located in a locally owned converted fruit farm, this holiday - located in a remote part of the Pyrenees helps provide an income for the owners and local community during Spring and Autumn.

With a maximum number of guests of 8 at any one time we keep environmental impact to a minimum. Where possible the owners actively recycle waste and only environmentally friendly cleaning products (washing powder, dishwasher tablets, toilet cleaners etc) are used. All water comes from a local source.

We aim to start and finish our daily hike from the farm, so vehicle use is kept to a minimum. Our qualified guide will conduct a nightly briefing including measures to limit our impact on the local environment.

All produce is sourced locally ensuring income is spread through the local community.

As a company, we support a variety of charities that strive for better conditions for staff who work in ‘off the beaten track’ tourism. In the Indian sub-continent and South America we help to provide better conditions for porters, and the protection of indigenous peoples in remote and fragile places such as rainforests and the sub-polar regions. All our trips are operated and planned in line with PATA and Green Globe 21 principles. We equally expect our clients to be committed to sustainable tourism.

We offer you the chance to contribute to Climate Care.
