ITINERARY

DAY 1

  • EXPLORING LUCHON

    Arrival day

As you near your base for the weekend, the quaint spa town of Luchon, the Pyrenees suddenly loom into sight. This large mountain town has plenty to do and is an excellent base for the weekend’s fun and frolics! After acquainting yourself with the accommodation there will be a quick run-through of your snowshoes, other equipment, techniques, and of course, safety procedures. If there is time and flight schedules allow it, you’ll get out there in amongst it straight away on a short loop that gives you a glimpse of the whole of the Pyrenean mountain range.

Travel time: 1 hr 40 mins 

Snowshoeing time: 1-3 hours depending on flight times

DAY 2

  • SNOWSHOEING

    7-8 hours

It is from here that your escape into the wilderness truly begins. Heading out from the quaint village of Artigue, you’ll encounter your own private winter wonderland, the snow-covered hillside punctuated only by trees. As stomachs start grumbling you’ll stop for lunch near a shepherd’s hut with beautiful views before completing the loop and heading back down towards Luchon. All that fresh air and exertion will have set you up perfectly for dinner, a debrief, and a game of cards before turning in for the night.

Snowshoeing time: 7-8 hours 

DAY 3

  • SNOWSHOEING

    6-7 hours

An early breakfast to fuel up and we’re off for a day of exploring. Today’s adventure takes you deeper into the Luchon Valley, the deep silence interrupted only by the crunch of snow, a trill of birdsong, and the chatter of your companions.  The army of trees marching over the mountains and frozen, icy waterfalls cascading to nowhere give way to a plateau guarded by towering peaks and offers views of seemingly endless, pristine snow. A quick stop for lunch and you’ll start heading back to reality, reveling in the enchanting scenery all around you.

Snowshoeing time: 6-7 hours (B, L, D)

DAY 4

  • TOWN EXPLORATION

    Luchon

You’ll have the chance to do some exploring in Luchon itself today and stretch those legs out!. There is a waterfall nearby if you fancy seeing some more of the scenery or are keen to try out the benefits of cold water bathing. Or you might be feeling the effects of a strenuous few days and hunting down a tasty crepe and a well-earnt beer might be more your scene. Either way, you’ll be transferred to Toulouse airport as a group later and ready for the journey home (Travel time 1 hr 40 mins Luchon-Toulouse).

YOUR GUIDE

Your adventure will be led by 360 Expeditions. Since 2008 the 360 team have been leading adventure junkies to remote corners of the globe and bucket list summits. 360 Expeditions was founded by Marni, Rolf and Raj who came together with their decades of experience to craft the most memorable trips imaginable. 

360 Expeditions share our ethos of caring for the local communities that they work with, and have donated over a million pounds to charities.

PYRENEES

The Pyrenees straddle the border between France and Spain for 400+km and rise to 3,400m. On this trip you’ll experience the Pyrenees in all its winter glory, venturing out into remote snow covered valleys. Europe doesn’t have to be tame. This is an absorbing snowshoe adventure of extreme contrasts, taking in iconic peaks and entering areas rarely seen by travelers. It will challenge everything you thought you knew about European mountains.

THE IMPORTANT STUFF

Is this trip women only?

Yes. At Adventuress in the Wild we work with tour operators who are providing trips for anybody who identifies as a woman. We have found that women are more likely to step out of their comfort zone and try new activities when they are surrounded by other supportive women. All of the tour operators we work with believe that adventure is for every woman no matter your background, ability, body type, or orientation.

 

Where we endeavor to work with tour operators who provide female guides and ground crew, this isn’t always possible for all trips. Therefore your guides and staff on this particular trip will be male. All staff are highly respectful and have worked with 360 Expeditions for many years.

Who is this trip for?

You will get the most out of this trip if you are an experienced hiker comfortable with hiking for up to 7-8 hours in a day with undulating terrain.

Essential Information

When is the final payment date?

24th November 2024

Do I need insurance?

Individual travel insurance is essential. If you do not provide proof of insurance then you will not be permitted to join the trip. Make sure that you have the appropriate insurance that includes medical evacuation and coverage up to the maximum altitude specified.

We will ask for your insurance details 8 weeks before departure.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Cancellation insurance is highly recommended. The Operator of this trip adhere to a strict refund policy as a result of stringent government charges. Please read the Operators Booking Conditions thoroughly before departure.

Flights aren’t included, what time should I arrive and depart to Toulouse?

Flights are not included on this trip to leave your options open for departing the UK. 

Before confirming a pickup time with you check flight schedules will be verified, as we want to make sure you can make it to Toulouse on time and we will confirm what time you should aim to arrive in Toulouse. 

The same will apply for the airport drop-off. Once we have told you the transfer times, please find flights that work for these times, or arrange a night at either end in Toulouse. If there are any issues with booking your flights, please let us know. This may involve hiring a hire car, train, or taxi to your start/finish point. 

Bagneres de Luchon is 1h 40 mins drive away.

What’s the accommodation like?

A traditional gite in the quaint mountain town of Luchon will be your home for this trip. Located near the best places for snow and ease of access, this place gives you lots of flexibility whilst still being charming and cosy. After a day of exertion being able to jump into a warm comfy bed AND with great food on tap is definitely a winning combo.

What’s the weather like up there?

It can be warm in the daytime, sometimes reaching the mid-teens ℃. Higher up though it can drop to below freezing and be chilly, especially in the evenings. Early spring / late autumn ascents may have snow from the refuge up and the temperatures well below freezing.

The very nature of trekking in a mountain environment means that the weather can rapidly change so you need to be prepared for any conditions. Even when the weather looks clear, short heavy downpours or snowstorms are not unusual.

What happens if there is limited snow?

It is extremely rare to have no snow on the routes we have chosen; however, the scenery is stunning whether the snow decides to show up or not. Rest assured though, there will always be a backup plan ready to kick in. It’s all part of the adventure!

What training do we need for this if any?

If you do not walk regularly in the mountains some fitness training will do you some favours. Cardiovascular training and hill walking will set you up nicely and make your adventure that much more enjoyable.

What do I do if I arrive early on the pickup day?

Regular buses and trams go into Toulouse centre from the airport and stop right outside Toulouse central train station by the left luggage point. It is a great city to explore or shop or eat and well worth the 20-minute journey.

What happens if there is a problem on the mountain?

Thorough risk assessments have been carried out and necessary plans put in place in the event of accidents or illness while on the expedition. Our team is highly qualified and experienced mountain leaders with expedition first aid qualifications. Furthermore, they are experienced at working in remote environments and are trained to deal with situations efficiently.

If further medical attention is required, a transfer to the nearest hospital will be organised. Your leaders will offer guidance and support for insurance claims and contacting next-of-kin.

Am I likely to suffer from altitude sickness on this expedition?

It is unlikely that you will suffer from altitude sickness at this height.

Where do we get drinking water from?

You will carry your water with you each day and the guide will carry extra as spare.

What is the food like?

Pastries, fresh bread, and jams are the classic fare at breakfast, and a packed lunch will either be provided or picked up along the way from a local shop. The evening meal will be a three-course meal and of course, all food is plentiful, good quality and locally sourced when possible.

We recommend packing your own snacks as extra.

Can allergies be catered for?

Please inform us of any allergies, intolerances, or dietary requirements and they will be taken into account on the trek.

What if I run out of snacks… are there places to buy stuff?

Some snacks will be provided for your mountain days but we recommend bringing a stash of your favourite snacks from home, a range of fast and slow-release energy snacks that travel well.

The pure ‘energy’ style bars which are solid are quite tough to eat on the mountain so go with simple things. Flapjacks, sweets, nuts, and chocolate are all good ideas.

Will I be able to get WIFI along the way?

The accommodation in Luchon has WiFi. There may be spots of 4g coverage on the mountain but it will be patchy. Enjoy the lack of interruption!

Can I bring my snow shoes and/or poles?

You can bring your own if you prefer. We recommend heel raisers and spare straps specific to the snowshoe in case repairs are required. Your guide will have a generic snowshoe repair kit for breakages but obviously, the ones specific to your snowshoe will give a better result.

Trekking poles must be in your checked-in luggage, they cannot travel as hand luggage.

Kit List

Rucksack

Approx. 40-50L rucksack. A daypack for daily essentials to include your packed lunch, water and extra layers. This should be fitted with shoulder straps and a waist belt.

Waterproof rucksack cover

To keep off any rain showers.

Warm headgear

Anything to reduce heat loss from your head. Warm hats, beanies, and balaclava are all good choices.

Wide-brimmed hat

Protect exposed areas like ears and the nape of the neck

Buff/Scarf

Essential sun protection

Sunglasses

Worth spending money on ones with good UV filters. Category 4 wrap-around styles are essential. 

Sunblock

Essential for protection from the sun.

Lip salve

Sunblock is not a suitable swap. You will be susceptible to burning without suitable protection.

Waterproof jacket (Outer layer)

Gore-Tex or event seam sealed are recommended both as waterproof and windproof. Make sure it is big enough to fit over a couple of layers. 

Base layer

The function of your closest layer is to draw (wick) moisture and sweat away from the skin. Thermal base layers for use at higher altitudes will provide an additional insulative layer while drawing sweat away.

Quantity: 2-3

Mid layer (long-sleeved fleece tops)

Lightweight microfleeces or similar will provide warmth and insulation without being overly bulky or heavy to pack.

Duvet jacket

We recommended synthetic as they will stay warm even if they get wet. 

Warm gloves

Consider liners or a light polartec pair for lower altitudes and evenings, and a thicker waterproof pair like ski gloves for higher altitudes.

Trekking trousers

Polyester trousers are the norm, these dry quickly and don’t weigh much. Consider some with detachable lower legs as an alternative to shorts.

Quantity: 1-2

Waterproof trousers

A lightweight pair of Gore Tex/eVent trousers are also great against the wind.

Long Johns

Thermal insulation for the lower body

Underwear

Merino or another wicking material, not cotton. Quantity at your own discretion!

Walking boots

4-season waterproof boots with mid to high ankle support and well worn in.

Gaiters

Gaiters are vital on this trip for keeping the snow out of your boots

Trekking socks

Lighter-weight merino wool is a good option, whether you choose single layer or double up is up to you.

Water bottles/bladder

Begin each day with a full water bottle and make sure you maintain hydration throughout.

Change of clothing for evenings

Comfortable clothes for the evening

Wash kit

Keep it simple! A toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant are the essentials. Moisturiser is recommended and everything else is a luxury!

Travel towel

We like the ones available at Lifesystems

Wet wipes

Always useful! Preferably biodegradable.

Alcohol gel

Also useful.

Personal first aid kit

A small kit with painkillers, plus blister plasters, plasters, antiseptic, rehydration sachets, and any muscle rubs you wish to use is a good idea. Your guide will have a more comprehensive kit for bigger problems. 

Personal medication

Keep this in your daysack

Head torch

Head torch and spare batteries.

Earplugs

If you’re a light sleeper these may come in handy

Camera

Spare batteries and memory cards are recommended.

Snacks

Shortbread, flapjacks, chocolate, sweets, individual cheese snacks, and nuts are all handy to pack especially in the cold, and won’t disintegrate in your bag.

Passport

Your passport should have an expiry date at least six months after the final day of travel.

Copy of passport

Just in case. Or a photo of it.

Travel insurance

It’s your responsibility to ensure that you have the appropriate insurance for your intended trip.

You must carry individual travel insurance to take part in the expedition. You will not be permitted in the park without proof of insurance and we will be requesting your insurance details 8 weeks before your departure.

There are many insurance providers available and we do recommend that you shop around to get the best cover for you on the expedition you are undertaking. You must check that the insurance cover they offer is right for you, including medical evacuation and coverage up to the maximum altitude of this trip, taking your circumstances (items to be insured, cancellation cover, medical history) into account.

Let us know if you would like to pay for your trip in instalments. The first instalment will always be the required deposit amount. Instalments are only available if making payments before the trip’s final payment date. The entire balance must be paid on the final payment date.

I recently joined a weekend trip with Adventuress In The Wild in the Peak District and it exceeded all my expectations! The weekend was filled with well-organised activities, including peaceful hiking in nature, rock-climbing and abseiling.As a first time climber, i felt both excitement and fear, but the encouraging environment made all the difference! Our host, Kate, was friendly and welcoming, ensuring everyone felt included throughout the trip. Kate provided useful information and fun facts, making the trip safe and interesting.One of the best parts was meeting lovely people who shared a passion for the outdoors.I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Adventuress In The Wild to anyone looking for an outdoor adventure!

The Adventuress tour to Morocco was an amazing experience. Our local guide Hafida took us to areas not commonly frequented by tourists and we were privileged to have genuine interactions with local people. A truely memorable trip with a fabulous group of women.

I went to Morocco with Adventuress and it was the trip of the lifetime. Our guide knew all the locals, was kind and generous and gave us an experience that was not overpopulated with other tourists and included unique cultural interactions. Kate herself is thoughtful and mindful of the adventures that she organizes for us.

Kate is always extremely welcoming and caring and puts so much effort into making sure everyone enjoy their time and having the best hike or trip.You will have the best with either you go alone or with friends.Very highly recommend any of the trip or hike!

Re: PEAK DISTRICT HIKE AND CLIMB WEEKEND.If in doubt, book it now! The beauty of the landscape is unparalleled, the thrill of the climb is a great boost for selfconfidence, and so many laughs with the crew! This trip is moderate and accessible to most people, I am not super sporty nor particularly strong myself, but the weekend is designed to make everyone welcome. Kate Capelli is a superstar!Re: SEVEN SISTERS EASTER HIKE.I had the best time with the best people and the best weather, exploring the best section of the ‘South Downs Way’. Kate Capelli knows what she is doing and I would follow her anywhere. The general vibe was inclusive and warm and friendly, you do not need to be super fit to take part.

I have been lucky enough to enjoy 3 activities with AITW, 2 of which have been overseas trips! "Adventures" does not even begin to describe the experiences I had on both of my trips with this group. My first trip with AITW was in October/November 2022, and I still have fond memories and friendships that were formed, sharing laughter, conquering challenges, and taking in the beautiful scenery of South Africa. Hiking, yoga, camping, bouldering, and wine tasting were all part of the itinerary, but what wasn't planned was just the awe and feeling I was left with when the trip was over. I had so much fun that I booked another overseas trip in March 2024 to Lapland. I got to try snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, a traditional Finnish sauna, and ice dipping. We even got to stay in a cozy cabin where we shared delicious meals, took turns sledding, had a private sauna, and even laughed our way into playing in the snow between sauna breaks. We had 2 wonderful Finnish guides leading us into the beautiful Lapland wilderness, and we got to have lunch at our very own woman-made ice table/bar. Our last night was quite magical, as we got to see the Northern lights for the 2nd time on the trip and were mesmorised by its glow. It was an empowering trip, and Kate takes thoughtful consideration in planning and organising events that promote community support. I can't wait to join another adventure!

I can’t recommend Adventuress in the Wild highly enough after an epic week exploring the magical scenery of the Finnish Lapland.We were very lucky to have Kate with us, and I must say I couldn’t possibly think of a better professional travel companion.We also had qualified wilderness guides with us, and again, they were really professional and friendly, and they were adapting to our needs at all times.The accommodation had great views and was really pretty, it also had a fireplace and traditional Finnish sauna, and getting up in the mornings in such a setting was quite a thing.Spent our days hiking in the wilderness, snow shoeing, trying nordic backcountry ski, ice dipping and having yummy home made meals. We also managed to see the northern lights for two nights and had lots of fun as strangers to start with but as friends by the end of the trip.A really empowering experience and I have already booked to go again next year.

Truely, an amazing trip with a bunch of lovely ladies and two aspiring female wilderness guides. A week packed with fun activities, nordic skiing, snowshoeing, hike to the fell for aurora, yoga, sauna/ice dip, laughter, banter, a perfect traditional log cabin in the magical Lapland landscape. My 1st all female group trip and definitely not my last. Experiences are shared, fond memories to look back on and friendships formed. LOVED IT, AITW/Sidetracked thank you!

Kate is incredible! She has a great ethos and works incredibly hard teaming up with group's lead/run by women and making sure everyone is ok. Lapland adventure, was the second overseas trip with Adventuresses and it was phenomenal. The group was hilarious/encouraging and the guides (Sirpa and Lotta), made the trip so special for everyone.

Still buzzing after a truly wonderful trip to Northern Finland with Kate and Adventuress in the Wild. From start to finish, Kate was really responsive and set the tone for an encouraging and fun space to try new things, take on challenging situations, and have a lot of laughs with a great group of women. Kate provided us with an exceptionally curated week, filled with snow shoe hiking, cross country skiing, ice dipping and even seeing the northern lights in our PJs!Would absolutely recommend AITW to anyone after an adventure!

I’ve just come back from an absolutely fantastic winter skills weekend up in the snowy Scottish highlands with Adventuress in the wild.It was a perfect weekend from the outset!Kate, the founder of adventuress in the wild and our mountain leader, Charlie , immediately put you at ease going through the itinerary for the weekend.On the Saturday Charlie introduced us to the lovely Scottish winter and what it had to offer. We learnt how to make wise decisions, use crampons, use ice axes and generally have lots of fun safely in the snow!On the Sunday we put all of the skills we had learnt the day before to good use as we hiked up a snowy mountain…and oh boy…the views were unreal!We were very very lucky with the weather and I felt I was living a dream. The memories I have made from the weekend will last a lifetime. My only regret is that it didn’t last longer as I was definitely not ready to come home!Thank you to Kate, Charlie, Gaby and Jean for making the trip so memorable. It won’t be the last trip I take with Adventuress in the wild!

I have just finished the 4 week bouldering course with Kate and it was so helpful in getting me into bouldering. She really eases you into it and the course is layed out really well. Kate is an amazing instructor as she takes the time to learn about you and doesnt just coach you on the physical side but the mental side too which for me was the main obstacle for me progressing. By the time I had my 2nd session with her I was a lot less shakey and from the very first session I was able to complete climbs. She pushes you outside your comfort zone yet not so much that it puts you off bouldering completely. In such a small amount of time Ive seen so much progress in my bouldering and having all the techniques she has taught me under my belt I now feel confident enough to enter a bouldering gym on my own.

I recently completed the 4-week bouldering beginners course. It was a great way to learn all the basic techniques and lingo. I feel more confident going bouldering by myself or joining social climbs now. Kate is a great instructor and made the sessions fun. I would definitely recommend it if you are new to or returning to bouldering!

The journey and trip through Morocco was a dream come true, filled with unparalleled experiences that go beyond the ordinary. From immersing myself in the ancient traditions of nomadic life to witnessing the awe-inspiring beauty of the Sahara Desert under the starlit sky, entire adventure was nothing short of extraordinary with the breathtaking hikes in the majestic mountains .Having Kate and Hafida as our guides undoubtedly added an extra layer of magic to our trip. Their expertise, passion, and genuine care ensured that every moment was not just memorable but truly exceptional. Their insights, local knowledge, and hospitality enriched our experience, creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

I had the most amazing week of my life on an expedition to the Pyrenees with Adventuress in the Wild and 360 Expeditions. I had never travelled solo before and was so nervous to go on an expedition with a group of people I’d never met. Adventuress couldn’t have been better, Kate made sure everyone was happy throughout the trip. She took the time to speak with everyone on the trip and answered any concerns we had. She kept us all up to date in the WhatsApp chat and put a packing list in the chat each day to help us know what to pack for the days activities.The group were amazing, everyone was so lovely and we all really bonded over the week. It was a week filled with smiles and laughter, we all supported and cheered each other on as we tried new and challenging things outwith our comfort zones. I absolutely cannot wait to book more activities with adventuress and genuinely recommend them to everyone!

I attended the course "Confidence Outdoors" and I enjoyed a lot. Kate is creating a very comfortable atmosphere and she is providing a complete course both, for beginners and more advance hikers. Key information provided and also, detailed replies to all questions. Now I feel I have all the important tools to go ahead in my future hikes. I would highly recommend this course.

Highly Recommend!I wanted to make a positive change and to go out and meet new people with similar interests and to build my confidence and self-esteem. I’d always loved walking and hiking but never felt I knew enough to do it on my own (or even if it was something you could do solo!) Then I came across Adventuress in the Wild. Kate’s Confidence Outdoors course was exactly what I was looking for.The course included subjects like: planning your own hike and creating your own route; keeping safe and how to deal with emergencies; choosing kit and equipment; multi-day camping and backpacking and then the option of going on a hike and meeting all the people on the course in the final week.I was very nervous to go on my own but I didn’t need to be; I was instantly put at ease. Kate is very friendly and welcoming and all the ladies attending were great. It was a really lovely day and Kate was a brilliant guide.I’d put planning solo hikes off, but now armed with my new knowledge and confidence, I’m looking forward getting out there.Kate, thank you. I also can’t wait to go on more of your hikes soon.

Kate is a fantastic guide and leader. I feel inspired and motivated to undertake more treks, which as an inexperienced woman who wants to get more outdoorsy feels so empowering. However, my favourite part is the adventuress community - I have done both the compass navigation and confidence outdoors courses, and the community that Kate has an integral role in developing of Adventuresses feels like a truly welcoming, supportive environment. I’ve already booked onto more adventuress walks - if you’re not sure, just sign up!

I've been thinking about joining this group for so long and I'm so glad I finally did! So nice to get out of London with some likeminded, friendly people. Kate is a great guide, very knowledgeable and always making sure everyone feels welcome. I also like that there are a lot of options, from day hikes to overseas trips to bouldering. Very highly recommended!

I’ve had such a brilliant time on my days with the adventuress gang! I did a couple of hikes in January and the confidence outdoors course in March. Kate is very experienced and knowledgeable, and creates a really relaxed and friendly environment. It’s a lovely way to meet like-minded people whilst exploring some beautiful places and building confidence to go it alone at some point. Highly recommend!

Such a great community to be a part of! I'm new to town, so I was nervous to start coming out, but Kate and the girls made me feel welcome right away. I now attend the hikes and bouldering and beer sessions regularly. The group that turns up is always a mix of new and familiar faces, and everyone receives that same warm welcome. Getting outside is medicine for me. Getting outside with other women is even more so. For any women looking to get into nature more and meet other women who like doing the same, I can't recommend this group enough!

Such a vibe! I was pretty stoked when I first found Adventuresses and even more so now that I have attended a few events. Kate is a great guide, always full of fun facts about nature and making sure everyone feels safe and welcome. What I love most though is the community, a bunch of cool chicks you get to hike/climb and have a drink with. Thanks for creating this, you'll be seeing my face a lot :)P.S. make sure to join one of the abroad adventures, it was truly an experience of a lifetime 😍

I've joined several adventures with Adventuress in the Wild, and I can confidently say that they are life changing experiences. As someone who moved to the UK, they gave me the opportunity to explore the outdoors around London and meet new people in a safe, friendly environment.Kate is a very experienced and organised guide, and she has created a platform that empowers women in many ways. I couldn't recommend them more.
