LA FENIERE & MOUNTAIN HUTS DATES & PRICES Included in the price: A tougher version of our popular Pyrenees Winter Walk and Snowshoe trip. From La Feniere, our base near Luchon, we will take two warm- up walks in the surrounding mountains, returning each night to the warmth of a log fire and delicious meals prepared by our chalet hosts. We then head out on a remote three- day hut- based expedition in the heart of the Aigues Tortes National Park, a short distance over the Spanish border. Staying in simple but hospitable manned mountain huts, we will trek among spectacular peaks and valleys, in deep unbroken snow.
