Summer Pyrenees Family Holiday with teenagers

This itinerary includes activities such as walking, cycling and white water rafting. We recommend a good state of health and fitness so you and your family can fully enjoy it, however there are plenty of opportunities to take a break along the way.

There are two beautiful walking days. The walks usually start at 10 am and finish at around 4 pm, and range from 10 to 14 kilometres in length. However, you're not walking the whole time, and the pace is quite easy.

The group may be split into two or three smaller groups, based on fitness levels and ability. This way you and your family get the most fun out of the activities.

While the accommodation is not grand, it's a friendly, family-run chalet-hotel with a reputation for fantastic hospitality. The food is hearty and delicious, and packed lunches can be made by the lovely hotel staff.

Like many beautiful mountain destinations, Soldeu, Andorra is a little tricky to get to so a complimentary transfer is included from Toulouse airport. The transfer can take up to three hours, however, the breathtaking scenery along the way makes the trip an unforgettable experience.

An alternative option is to travel independently to Soldeu from Barcelona, Spain. For more detailed information, please see our "Important Notes" section.

1. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer to have your own room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.

2. A discount of 10% applies on this trip to children under 17 years and under at the time of travel.

3. Intrepid Family trips are for adults and children to travel together. To book this trip, there must be at least one child under 18 travelling with you.

4. Minimum age for children to travel on this trip is 10 years old.

5. Transferring to Soldeu from Toulouse:
Day 1: A complimentary group arrival transfer to Soldeu departs from Toulouse airport at 12.30pm sharp. If you plan to fly into Toulouse Airport on this day, please ensure your flight arrives by 11.30am at the latest. A transfer guide will meet you in Hall D international arrivals with the clipboard sign.
DAY 8: A complimentary group departure transfer is also included back to the Toulouse Airport. The transfer arrives at the airport around 9am.
Both transfers must be booked in advance! Please provide your flight details to Intrepid or your travel agent at the time of booking so they can be added to your booking. If you simply turn up at the airport for the transfer without notifying Intrepid, we cannot guarantee that space will be available. In such case, you may need to take an taxi at your own expense, a 3 hour drive from Toulouse.

Transferring to Soldeu from Barcelona:
Barcelona (BCN) is another convenient airport for accessing Andorra. At this time we do not offer complimentary transfers from Barcelona, but regular and affordable shared bus transfers between Barcelona airport and Soldeu are available daily through Andbus. The journey takes approximately 4 hours and costs approximately EUR76 for a round-trip ticket.
Transfers can be booked online here: https://andbus.net/en
When booking your transfer with Andbus choose your 'SOURCE' as the Barcelona airport terminal you will fly into, and choose your destination by selecting 'STOPS', then 'SOLDEU", and choose SOLDEU-BUS STOP Nº166 ROC ST. MIQUEL (SHUTTLE DIRECTION BARCELONA)PLETA SOLDEU. This stop is directly in front of your accommodation.

Most travellers prefer to take a small to medium wheeled suitcase, which is a great size for the packing capacity in our private vehicles. Whatever you take, be mindful that you will need to be able to carry your own luggage, handle it at airports, take it in/out of accommodation and perhaps even walk short distances. We recommend you pack as lightly as possible.

If your trip includes travelling on overnight trains or primarily using public transport, the smaller your luggage, the easier it will be to store under or above bunks. Large suitcases may not be able to be taken on board. A lockable bag or small padlock for your bag will be useful, especially when travelling on public transportation as well.

When you're exploring during the day, you'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water, a camera, a jacket and activity-specific items like a swimsuit, a waterproof pouch/bag for your phone, or hiking shoes.

Below we have listed the essentials for this trip:, https://www.intrepidtravel.com/packing-list, WATER BOTTLE
Please bring your own water bottle to refill. Although it can be difficult to avoid bottled water when travelling, please use the water dispensers which are provided on some of our vehicles and at some of our accommodation. When unable to avoid bottled water, it is better to buy the largest available and distribute it into your smaller bottle for the day. Some travellers like to bring a bottle with its own filtration system or water purification tablets. If you are walking or trekking as part of your trip, you will need to carry at least 2 litres of water with you.

These trips are setup to involve and include all the family so no real physical preparation is necessary. The trips all have some degree of physical activity but nothing that is too strenuous. Please check the physical rating on the trip notes and if you need further explanation please contact one of our sales consultants who will provide you with more detailed information.

While travelling with us you'll experience the vast array of wonderful food available in the world. Your group leader or local representative will be able to suggest restaurants to try during your trip. To give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat, generally not all meals are included in the trip price. This also gives you more budgeting flexibility. As a rule, our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. If you have dietary requirements and/or food allergies, please let your booking agent know prior to departure.

SUMMER
Summer temperatures can be extreme in many of the regions visited (over 40°C/104°F), which can be uncomfortable. It’s important to use sun protection and drink plenty of water. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.

SHOULDER SEASON
In contrast, weather in shoulder season can be unpredictable, and snow is not unheard of at higher altitudes. If you travel at the start or towards the end of the European season please pack accordingly with warm and/or waterproof clothes (preferably layers). The advantage of travelling during this time is that there are less tourists around.

While we always endeavour to provide the best possible holiday experience, due to the nature of travel and the areas we visit sometimes things can and do go wrong. Should any issue occur while you are on your trip, it is imperative that you discuss this with your group leader or local representative straight away so that they can do their best to rectify the problem and save any potential negative impact on the rest of your trip.

We recognise that there may be times when your group leader or local representative may not be able to resolve a situation to your satisfaction - if this is the case, please ask the group leader or local representative to speak to their direct manager.

You may also choose to provide details in your online feedback, which we ask you to complete within 30 days of the end of your trip. Please do be aware that it is very difficult for us to provide any practical help after the trip is completed, so informing us while still travelling will give us the opportunity to resolve the issue in real-time.

On this trip we are travelling in our own private minibus, as this allows us to reach some more off the beaten track destinations and give us flexibility which would not be possible by public transport.

On some days we depart early in the morning to ensure we optimise our time for included activities.
