Residential camp in Lles de Cerdanya, Spain
Pyrene Summer Camp is a mountain summer camp in the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees, based at Cap del Rec in Lles de Cerdanya, at around 1,900 metres above sea level. Designed for children and teenagers aged 7 to 17, Pyrene combines outdoor adventure, sport, nature and camp life in a safe, active and international environment. Families can choose between several programmes according to age and interests. Minairons introduces younger children to camp life through games, nature and simple adventures. Aventura Junior, Bold and Wild progressively add more challenging outdoor experiences, teamwork and mountain activities. Bike Junior by Orbea focuses on mountain biking, while our Horse Riding programmes offer both initiation and advanced options. Gran Travessa 7x7 is designed for campers looking for a more demanding trekking and mountain experience. Although each camp has its own programme and identity, all participants share the same Pyrene spirit: living outdoors, making friends, becoming more independent and learning through real experiences. Activities are led by experienced Pyrene monitors, with qualified specialist instructors for technical activities. Campers stay at our mountain base surrounded by forests and peaks, sleeping in shared tents and taking part in a full programme from morning until night. With participants from different countries and activities in Catalan, Spanish and English, Pyrene Summer Camp is a place to discover the mountains, try new challenges and create unforgettable summer memories.

Meals
breakfast
A balanced breakfast to start an active day.
lunch

dinner
A warm shared meal after the day’s activities.
snacks
A simple afternoon snack to recharge energy.
Our catering approach is based on simple, balanced and nutritious meals that provide campers with the energy they need for active days in the mountains. All meals are prepared on site by our own kitchen team, combining familiar dishes with practical menus suited to children and teenagers. Campers receive four meals each day: breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner. When groups spend the day away from base camp, packed lunches are prepared so they can continue their activities without interrupting the programme. Whenever the weather allows, meals are enjoyed outdoors together under our covered dining area, while an indoor dining room is available for colder or rainy days. Shared meals are an important part of camp life, giving campers time to relax, talk and enjoy being together. We can accommodate common food allergies, intolerances and vegetarian diets when communicated in advance, and we ask families to provide clear dietary information before arrival.

Pyrene Summer Camp is set at Cap del Rec, in the high mountains of Lles de Cerdanya, at around 1,900 metres above sea level. The camp is surrounded by pine forests, alpine meadows and mountain landscapes, with direct access to hiking trails and outdoor activity areas. The setting combines the feeling of being immersed in nature with the practicality of a fixed base camp. Campers live, eat and sleep surrounded by the Pyrenees, while many activities take them further into forests, valleys, rivers, mountain refuges and high-altitude terrain. This mountain environment is a key part of the Pyrene experience, encouraging independence, confidence, curiosity and respect for nature. It gives children and teenagers the chance to disconnect from everyday routines and enjoy a genuine outdoor lifestyle in a safe and organised setting.
