Wow, what an adventure! I can hardly put into words how unique those two weeks were.

First of all, the horses were absolutely amazing—responsive to the reins, sensitive to body language, powerful, fast, and impressively sure-footed. The matching of horses with each rider was spot-on. The horses are treated beautifully. They’re healthy and well taken care of, just as I would care for my own.

The guides are fantastic. Rudi has been doing this for 30 years, and you can sense his experience in every decision. The weather in the mountains changes quickly, so we had to be flexible with the route. The logistics behind the scenes were incredibly well-organized, and the equipment for the horses was perfect.

The other riders on the trail were truly amazing—they became real friends. We formed such a great team. This journey wasn’t always easy, and you’ll face both physical and mental challenges, but with this team, the outstanding guides, and the wonderful horses, we made it through and had an unforgettable adventure.

The trail itself was breathtaking. The first week was easier—ideal for getting into the rhythm, getting to know your horse, and settling in. The second week, however, was quite challenging: many long hours in the saddle, waking up at 4:30 a.m. to avoid thunderstorms, and riding for over nine hours without a long break (due to thunder risks). In the high mountains, the weather changed dramatically, with temperatures around 0°C, strong winds, and freezing rain. It’s absolutely essential to pack waterproof and cold-resistant riding gear, as well as proper hiking boots.

It’s a true adventure, with all the challenges and rewards that come with it.

For me, the trip was the amazing experience I had hoped for—it was absolutely magical! Incredible landscapes flowed into one another - the trail description was very accurate. The night sky was so clear, vibrant, and filled with stars that, as a “city kid,” I was almost overwhelmed by their number.

My horse, Chanello, was experienced and surefooted, very responsive to the aids, and easy to ride on a loose rein. Leading him downhill was completely smooth.

The entire organization deeply impressed me. The logistics behind the scenes were flawless. The logistical team—especially Nacho—did fantastic and reliable work, ensuring that lunches were always taken care of and the suitcases were waiting at each new destination—a big thank you!

The excellent, well-tested equipment was immediately noticeable, meticulously thought through, and designed with the safety of the riders and the well-being of the horses in mind.

Our extremely competent and considerate trail guide, Rudi, was always approachable and made sure we didn’t miss anything important while ensuring that we were safe at all times.

In the hotels and restaurants, high-quality, delicious meals were served, and we had plenty of opportunities to select and enjoy traditional local dishes.

Among the participants, we had five different nationalities from four continents—guaranteeing interesting conversations.

The best sign of the quality of this trail? A week after the trip ended, everyone is still writing in the group chat—probably because no one wants to admit that the trail is really over.

My conclusion: A highly recommended, fantastic trip that I would love to repeat—though next time, I’ll bring a better sleeping mat and a camping pillow!

Many thanks to the whole team!

Doing the Andorra Trail has been on our bucket list for years. Riding all the way from the coast of Catalonia to Andorra in the Pyrenees sounded like an amazing experience. In 2024 we finally did it, and reality exceeded our expectations. It was truly an amazing and magical experience!

The trail is though and we spend many hours in the saddle as well as walking the horses down the steep mountains every day. We did several very technical climbs on horseback and rode through terrain which we would never thought possible on horseback! Because of this we were able to climb some insane mountains and enjoy the almost unreal view from the top as well as the peace and beauty of the nature far from the towns and roads. Camping in the mountains of Andorra and sleeping to the sound of cowbells was a special and unforgettable experience.

We’re amazed how though, enduring and surefooted the horses were. This was not our first trail with Panorama Trail and the excellent, well trained and well cared for horses is one of the reasons we keep coming back.

A huge thank you to Rudi, Mariona, Louis, Nacho and Daniela for taking us on this adventure. Without your extreme knowledge of the mountains, the trail, each individual horse and the superb organization we would never had dared to ride through this crazy and wild landscape!

Our outstanding week with Rudi riding over the Pyrenees was absolutely magic. I have never seen such superbly fit and well behaved horses nor have we eaten such bounteous qualntities of really delicious Catalonian food. Our group were a varied lot and it was so funny by the end as we rubbed off each others prickly edges and laughed the days away.

Thanks Rudi for your hard work.

I took part in a half-day ride, as I have done in many other holiday destinations. But nowhere else were the horses treated so lovingly and the riders so privately. Here you feel like a friend and not a tourist. It was simply wonderful hours with absolutely well-behaved, reliable and sure-footed horses. The trail guide Niki showed us the wonderful landscape and rode with us through the "shallows" of the dense forest. Even at a fast gallop uphill over branches and stones, the horses are able to ride the trail with absolute control and you can feel their power and endless fun. I would go on a ride again at any time, maybe even again this holiday.

Thank you for these wonderful hours. 🥰
