Residential hiking camp in Lles de Cerdanya, Spain
Big Trekking 7x7 is a seven-day walking traverse for 16 to 18 year olds who want their summer measured in summits rather than screens. The challenge is simple and demanding: seven peaks in seven days, linking emblematic tops of the Cerdanya valley and its neighbouring comarques such as Puigpedrós, Bony Manyer, Carlit, Peric, Coma d'Or, Puigmal, Tossa Plana de Lles, Perafita and Pedraforca. Between the long days on the ridges, campers come back to a camp set among the woods of the Pyrenees, where facilities are mobile and foldable, hot water comes from solar panels and life is deliberately simple. Phones, tablets and consoles stay in the office, so the week is spent with the group, the map and the mountains, and English is picked up naturally thanks to native English-speaking monitors and the mix of Catalan, Spanish and international participants. It suits teenagers who already enjoy walking and are ready for sustained effort, altitude and the satisfaction of standing on a new summit each morning.

Activities
Special focus
Hiking · Sports & Outdoor
The programme has a single, clear thread running through it: fly high and reach seven summits in seven days. Campers travel as one fixed group of no more than twenty-five, so the week builds like a real mountain traverse, with each day's walk feeding into the next and the group looking after itself on long days out. Between summits they come back to the shared Pyrene camp in the woods, eating under the sails with campers from the other programmes and taking their turn with camp tasks, which keeps the sociable side of camp life alongside the effort. Navigation, pacing and mountain sense are learned by doing rather than in lessons, and with phones stored away and English spoken around the group all day, the week is as much about independence and new friendships as it is about altitude.

Meals
lunch
Picnic lunches are carried on excursion days and eaten out in the mountains.
Full board is part of the stay, running from dinner on the day of arrival to breakfast on the last morning. Breakfasts are eaten at the camp before heading out, and on days spent high on the trail the group carries a picnic lunch to eat in the meadows, with everyone taking their turn at tasks such as setting the table back at camp.

Screen time policy
The camp is deliberately phone-free: game consoles, mobile phones and tablets are not allowed during the summer camps. If a camper travels by train or plane and carries a phone for logistics, it is handed in and stored at the camp office on arrival and returned at the end of the stay. Families keep in touch instead through the camp blog, which is updated during the week so parents can follow the group's progress.

Tents
Nights are spent at Pyrene's camp in the middle of the woods, built from mobile and foldable facilities that are taken away at the end of the summer so the forest is left as it was. Showers run on solar-heated water, and campers sleep in their own sleeping bag (comfort temperature 0ºC) with a sleeping mat, both on the kit list and available from the camp's rental service if you don't have them at home.

The campus
Forest campsite in the Cerdanya valley, in the Pyrenees
The camp sits in the woods of the Cerdanya valley and is designed to leave no trace: the facilities are mobile and foldable, hot water comes from solar panels, waste is fully recycled and the project makes use of existing public facilities rather than building new ones. Meals are shared under the camp's sails with the other groups, supplies come from local and responsible producers, and the surrounding trails and peaks are effectively the campus for this trekking programme.

Getting your child there
Airport
€80 · optionalBarcelona El Prat Airport
Pickup service · International campers are met at Barcelona El Prat airport, with pick-up every Sunday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and drop-off every Saturday between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. for the journey up to the Cerdanya valley. The transfer is booked as an add-on when you reserve the camp place and is charged per journey, so arrival and departure can be booked separately or together.
Train station
€20 · optionalPuigcerdà railway station
Pickup service · The greenest way to arrive is by train on the R3 Rodalies line from Barcelona to Puigcerdà, where the camp team collects campers at the station and drives them the short way to the camp. The station transfer is added to the booking and costs 20€ each way, or 40€ for arrival and departure together.
Train station
CHF 20 · optionalLatour-de-Carol – Enveitg station
Pickup service · Campers travelling from elsewhere in Europe can come by SNCF train to Latour-de-Carol – Enveitg, which arrives directly in the Pyrenees close to the camp, and be picked up at the station by the Pyrene team. Let the office know your train details when booking so the collection can be arranged.
Shuttle
€80 · optionalBarcelona city and surrounding area transfer
Pickup service · A road transfer is also offered from Barcelona city and its surrounding area for families who prefer to hand their child over closer to home rather than at the airport. It is selected as an option at booking and costs 80€ each way, or 160€ for the return journey.
