The Alps' edgier cousin, the Pyrenees have a rougher beauty than their loftier counterpart, but are still a snow-capped Shangri-La for walkers, bikers, skiers and those less adrenalin-charged amongst us who just appreciate a bloody good view. The terrain is great for snowshoeing and horse riding on French Pyrenees holidays, and the age-old mountain thoroughfares reveal an intriguing mix of isolated valleys.
