Once again thank you Panorama Trails. Having just returned from the Paths of the Herdsmen trail I just wanted to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the mountains again. My horse Calderin was a superstar. He was an absolute dream of a horse, loved him!!!! Again I met some lovely people who were a pleasure to ride with. Denise guided us with patience, knowledge and a sense of humour and showed a real passion for the area and the horses. Thank you too Anais for your help and support. It was very much appreciated. Can't wait to come back again!

Let me thank you again for the superlative scenaries, my beloved Mowgli, lovely boy and perfect gentleman when ridden, for your well trained horses, nice and carefull Denise. You'll see me again I'm afraid!!! Saludos

Thanks for another great trail in this wonderful area of Catalonia. We were 11 riders from seven countries led by our excellent guide Anaïs. We had long gallops and a lot of trotting, the horses were very fit and did not seem to show fatigue. And of course being served good food! Thanks to Danny and Jose for providing good service at all levels. Breakfast usually at 09:00 and we rode most of the day turning in the horses usually at six o'clock. For those who do not have any plans in the X-mas of 2016 this trail is an excellent alternative! Ride safe!

A brilliant ride with superbly fit horses and the best food ever eaten (where's the cookbook?). Some of the most spectacular scenery we have ever ridden through. And a guide (Rudi) who provided speed and adventure with safety and organisation second to none, combined with moments of hilarity and fun. I can't speak highly enough of this ride. Rudi cares for his horses to the highest standard and is proud of their abilities to climb up and down mountains and gallop along tracks in the most sure-footed way. Definitely a 10/10 ride!

Falling asleep under a star covered sky to the sound of copper bells chiming in the distance, waking up when the first fingers of dawn light caress your face.......some of the many magical experiences you'll encounter on this trip.

Being an avid "adventure trail rider" the minute I heard about the Andorra Trail I was certain it was for me.......and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made!!!
It's a tough trail with long hours in the saddle, possible early starts, technical riding through mountainous terrain and not forgetting the ever changing weather............but for every challange there is an amazing reward....the opportunity to take a refreshing bath in numerous deserted mountain gorges and lakes, long gallops along mountain trails with the wind in your hair, the sun on your back and the most amazing vista of mountains and valleys surrounding you. This trail is a definite feast for the eyes, the scenery is breath taking and changes every day, such a variety of landscapes I've never experienced on any ride I've done before (this was lucky number 13!!). I remember going to bed every night reflecting on the amazing day we had just experienced, always thinking that it can't get any better, but the next day would always surpass my expectations and leave me awe struck!
The organisation of this trail is faultless, Rudi has it running like a well oiled machine! The food was amazing, as a coeliac I was slightly worried this might pose a problem but I never went hungry and there was an ample supply of coeliac friendly and gluten free food available!! Dany and his team work so hard behind the scenes preparing the food, setting up camp and ensuring everything gets to where its supposed to be and countless other things that I'm sure I've forgotten to mention, but the enormous effort is much valued and very much appreciated!!
Rudi is a great guide, he knows the area so well and he also knows his horses extremely well. I will always remember his infectious good humour and booming laugh, even whilst cantering through a thunderstorm you could never have a "bad" moment!!! We were extremely lucky to have a back up guide with us on this trip, the lovely Ananas, I'm convinced this girl goes to bed smiling and wakes up smiling, such a beautiful energy and an extremely hard worker she was a fantastic addition to our group and there was never a dull moment!!!

I had an absolutely fantastic time on this trip and I would highly recommend it. One piece of advice I will give is to be flexible....depending on weather conditions plans and routes can change.....don't get hung up on the details just go, bask in the beauty, experience, enjoy the journey and look back and think of it as one of the best times of your life.......you won't regret it!
