Running and Hiking in the Province of Girona

We offer self guided, guided and coached hiking and running camps. Please contact us with your requirements.

This area has fantastically picturesque trails perfect for running and hiking. Trails lead right from the door and include trails up into the volcanic national park stretching to the west. To the north just a few km from Mas Pelegri we have the river Fluvia with its protected bird and plant life and a trail that runs along it. To the south with have the land of the lake with a lovely trail down to and around the lake. Within a few kms of Mas Pelegri are the Serinya prehistoric caves, a castle and a beautiful waterfall. There is also a lovely hike/trail run to the medieval town of Besalu or another to the town of Banyoles with its weekly market. The GR1 and GR2 both pass by very close to Mas Pelegri and there are connecting trails right from the door. This area is wonderful for everyone from beginners to athletes training for mountain marathons. By the lake there is also a old style grit track and 400m tartan tracks can be booked in Girona or Olot.

With any stay with us we offer route maps or GPS downloads and emergency back up. Luxury camps are fully guided or coached and groups are kept small. Click here for details of 2012 camps.

On our luxury camps we offer trails further afield, including one into the centre of a caldera which contains a church. There are also beautiful walks into the Pyrenees and along mountain stream valleys and up into the high mountains. There is year round hiking/trail running, in spring there are the spring flowers and orchids, in Summer it is lovely and warm and the mornings and evenings offer the best time for enjoying the countryside, as it gets light early and you can be out until 9 at night. In Autumn the leaves change colour making for beautiful colourful scapes. In winter it is still warm once the sun (1st of Jan has seen highs of 20˚C) comes up and most days are sunny, making for enjoyable hiking and trail running.
You can choose between self guided trips to luxury fully guided camps the whole year round.

For the individual prices start from 365 euros per person per week including breakfast and route maps. Groups price start from 220 euros self catering, self guided including route maps. Please contact us if you require other services. There is a great bus service in the area, so it is simple to do one way self guided walks or trail runs and simply get on the bus back to Serinya and then walk the 10 mins back to Mas Pelegri, or you can call us up for a lift back.

Luxury camps include luxury en-suite accommodation, large breakfasts, three course lunches and dinners with half a bottle of wine, 2 massages per week, 2 entries into local site seeing locations, fully customized guiding, hydration and nutrition while hiking, evening trips to old town Girona, personal service, pick up and drop off at Girona airport, and all local taxes. On our luxury camps we make sure everyone gets to hike at their own pace, so there may be one guide per 1 or 2 people, depending on ability. Please contact us with the dates that work best for you. We are available year round.
