The Origin
One autumn day, during our annual walk to collect fallen leaves, my daughter and I were talking about the future of our small village in the Pyrenees and its potential growth. Bisaurri, with just 60 inhabitants, now has only a handful of children left.
Maybe, with good ideas, new businesses could be developed to create jobs for people to settle in the village and have children. Don’t you think so? I suggested.
How do you start a business, Dad? If, after my studies in the city, I wanted to come back to the valley, what would I have to do to develop a business?
And what would you like to do with your business, my dear? I asked, curious.
She paused for a moment, gazing at the beautiful mountains surrounding us, and then said excitedly: Show other people our beautiful land!
That same afternoon, with pen and paper in hand, we chose our Company name: Pyrenees Travels.

The humans behind
Alberto Andrés
Pyrenees Travels Manager
The person behind the trips, designs, communication… basically, a bit of everything, deeply in love with every corner of the valleys he explores and the air he breathes daily in the mountains. For over 20 years, He has been designing experiences, activities, and itineraries in the Pyrenees, walking a fine line like a tightrope walker between the local development of our communities and their sustainability. The rest of the team calls him «the Boss,» although, to be honest, he isn´t very fond of the title…
David
Mountain and nature guide
To experience and feel the Pyrenees through the programs of Pyrenees Travels is one of the greatest joys I treasure in my profession as a mountain and nature guide.
I love the feeling of being able to offer those who visit us a unique and authentic experience: life in these mountains, with its nods to the past, its connection to the present, and the dream of preserving all we have for the future. Bringing the Pyrenees closer to people like you makes me feel alive, allowing me to grow as a local guide, knowledgeable about the environment, its cultures, and the invaluable feedback we receive daily from our visitors.
Without a doubt, savoring these journeys as a local guide is one of my greatest motivations.
Alberto M.
Mountain and nature guide
Working as a mountain guide allows me to forge a deep and intimate connection with nature. Every day, I appreciate the subtle changes that occur in the environment, and, like a curious child, I revel in this «toy» for longer than most. I am deeply in love with the Pyrenees, mountains where the wild essence still thrives, and where the human footprint, which once transformed these landscapes for survival, remains visible and fascinating.
I enjoy sharing my experiences with travelers from Pyrenees Travels because they give me the opportunity to feel like an ambassador for my homeland. My goal is to awaken in them the same sense of wonder that fills me every day in the mountains. I firmly believe that we only protect what we value. That’s why every excursion aims to make visitors fall in love with this territory, so their time in the mountains leaves a mark—not on the landscape, but on their commitment to protecting nature.

Our most important motivation…
Our guides, Alberto and David were fantastic. Their love of the Pyrenees showed through in the hikes and the cultural experiences they shared such as local cheese artisan, raptor rescue, and dining experiences. We were based at two great boutique inns with great dining and wine offerings. The team was adjusted to the weather conditions to give us a wonderful time.
I went on a four day custom made trip with my 14 year old son. The trip was special to us as it was the first time the two of us went away just the two of us. The days we spent with Alberto and his colleague (also conveniently called Alberto!) was just amazing and both my son and I had an incredible and unforgettable time.
We scheduled a 10 day hiking trip with Pyrenees travels for a customized hiking trip for the family. I can’t say enough of the wonderful trip we had!. Alberto and his team were prompt with airport pickup and drop off. Daily itinerary was discussed and adjusted to the weather and abilities.
Fabulous Hikes and Explorations of the Pyrenees
I highly recommend taking a trip with Pyrenees Travel. The Ancient Paths 9 day hiking trip was fantastic. Pyrenees Travel planned an excellent itinerary with a wide variety hikes in beautiful parks as well as visits to cultural landmarks throughout the central Pyrenees.
