More about Pyrene Explorer Camp
The Pyrene programs are the result of more than 20 years of experience working in youth programs in the Pyrenees. In 2001, we rehabilitated an abandoned farmhouse in the Cerdanya Valley, and since then it has been our base camp. In our camps and expeditions, we discover peaks, lakes, and high mountain forests, cooperating with mates who will become new friends forever.
Pyrene’s mission is to create unforgettable and impactful experiences that will last forever and to do it safely. Although we know that overcoming challenges often means going through difficult times, we believe that the growth that comes with it and the satisfaction at the end of the journey is well worth it.
