Residential hiking camp in Lles de Cerdanya, Spain
Junior Trekking 7x7 is a week-long walking traverse in the Pyrenees for teenagers aged 13 to 15, built around one clear goal: reaching seven summits in seven days. Setting out from the Pyrene base camp in the woods of the Cerdanya valley, the group walks towards emblematic peaks such as Puigpedrós, Bony Manyer, Carlit, Peric, Coma d'Or, Puigmal, Tossa Plana de Lles, Perafita and Pedraforca, crossing between Cerdanya and the neighbouring valleys. Phones, tablets and consoles stay behind, so the days are filled with walking, picnic lunches in high meadows, evenings shared with campers from the other Pyrene camps and nights under the mountains. English runs through camp life thanks to native English-speaking monitors from the United States, Canada and Great Britain working alongside local Catalan- and Spanish-speaking staff, and around a third of participants come from abroad. It is a stay for young people who want simplicity, long days outdoors and the satisfaction of standing on a summit they have earned on foot.

Activities
Special focus
Hiking · Sports & Outdoor
This is a single-purpose programme rather than a menu of activities: one fixed group of up to twenty-five teenagers walking together for seven days with the aim of standing on seven summits. The shape of the week is dictated by the route, so each day brings an early start, a long climb, a picnic lunch somewhere high and quiet, and an afternoon that ends wherever the group is sleeping that night, whether back at the woodland base camp in Cerdanya or out in the mountains. Because everyone carries their own kit and shares the same objective, the group grows close quickly and the monitors, local mountain and education professionals, pace the week so that every participant reaches the tops. Back at the base camp the trekkers mix with campers from the other Pyrene programmes for night games and outdoor film evenings, which keeps the social side of camp alive alongside the physical challenge. Phones are stored away for the whole stay, and English is part of the day through the native-speaking monitors on the team.

Participants are supervised 24 hours a day by the Pyrene team, a group of local monitors based in these same valleys who are professionals in education and sport, joined by native English-speaking monitors. Groups are kept to a set size of up to 25 places per weekly shift, and the camp covers every participant with compulsory accident insurance and liability insurance. Phones are handed in at the office on arrival, and families are kept in touch through the camp blog, which is updated with what the group has been doing.

Meals
lunch
Picnic lunch carried on the day's route when the group is out walking.
Full board is included from dinner on the day of arrival to breakfast on the day of departure. Breakfasts are eaten outdoors in the morning sun before the group sets off, and on walking days the kitchen prepares picnic lunches carried in the rucksack and eaten in the meadows along the route, while dinners back at camp are shared under the camp's sails with the other groups. Food comes from responsible and local suppliers, part of the camp's commitment to its valley.
Screen time policy
The camp is deliberately screen-free: game consoles, mobile phones and tablets are not allowed during the summer camps. If a participant travels by train or plane and carries a phone for the journey, it is handed in and kept safely at the camp office on arrival. Parents stay informed through the camp blog, which the team updates during the week, while the campers get seven days of walking, talking and evenings around the camp without a screen in sight.

Tents
The base camp sits in the middle of the woods in the Cerdanya valley and is deliberately light on the land: facilities are mobile and foldable so the forest is left as it was, and hot water for the showers comes from solar panels. Campers settle in on the first afternoon, find the showers, learn the routine of setting the table and choose their bunks, and on the traverse days the group sleeps out in the mountains along the route. Each participant brings their own sleeping bag rated to a comfort temperature of 0ºC and a sleeping mat, and anything missing can be hired from the camp's rental service.

Woodland campsite in the Cerdanya valley, in the Pyrenees, surrounded by the peaks the group climbs during the week
Pyrene's home in Cerdanya is a camp rather than a building: mobile, foldable installations set among the trees, meals taken in the shade under the camp's sails, and trails leading straight from the tents into the forest. The whole site is run as a 100% sustainable camp, with solar panels for hot water, local and responsible suppliers, all waste recycled and existing public facilities reused instead of new ones being built. Evenings bring the different camps together on site for night games and outdoor film screenings before the next day's walking.
Campus facilities
Shaded outdoor dining area under the camp's sails
Showers heated by solar panels
Marked camp trails used for orienteering and games
Outdoor cinema area for evening screenings

Getting your child there
Airport
€80 · optionalBarcelona–El Prat Airport
Pickup service · International participants are met at Barcelona–El Prat airport by the Pyrene team, 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., then driven up to the camp in the Cerdanya valley. The transfer is booked as an option when you reserve the camp place and is charged per journey, so you can take it outbound only, return only, or both ways.
Train station
€20 · optionalPuigcerdà railway station
Pickup service · The most sustainable way to arrive: take the R3 Rodalies line from Barcelona to Puigcerdà and the camp team will collect your child at the station, a short drive from the campsite. The station transfer is selected as an option at the time of booking and is priced per journey, outbound and return booked separately or together.
Train station
CHF 20 · optionalLatour-de-Carol – Enveitg (SNCF)
Pickup service · Families travelling from elsewhere in Europe can use SNCF services to Latour-de-Carol – Enveitg, which brings participants directly into the Pyrenees on the French side of the Cerdanya valley, close to the camp. Arrangements for meeting the train are confirmed with the camp when booking.
Shuttle
€80 · optionalBarcelona city and surrounding area
Pickup service · A shared transfer also runs from Barcelona and its surrounding area, taking campers up to the Cerdanya valley with the monitors. As with the airport service it is added to the booking as an option and charged per journey, with outbound and return available separately or as a round trip.
