These photographs were taken on the Marmot Tours Ltd 'Peaks and ridges refuge based expedition'. During this holiday we base ourselves in two comfortable mountain refuges with hot showers and explore the surrounding peaks and ridges without the burden of a heavy backpack. There are 4.5 days of 'backpacking' and 3.5 days with light 'day' sacks. The peaks all involve some level of scrambling and we encounter scree slopes, boulder fields and narrow ridges during the weeks holiday. This week long Holiday is based in the mountains of Ariege in the French Pyrenees. The photographs above are displayed in the correct order.
