Fresh & Saltwater - Mountain & Sea Trail - August 2017

I had a wonderful time during my Fresh- and Saltwater Trip with Nacho and learned lots about horses, riding and myself! A big THANK YOU to amazing Nacho, Manel and the whole team who made it possible! Your smiles and kindness were amazing! And a big thank you to Masnou who carried me safely over rocky terrain. I will come back for sure :) Muchas gracias!

Unguided Panorama Trail - July 2017

Self-guided ride so good it can’t be described with words! My boyfriend and I did the self-guided panorama trail in July 2017 but haven’t written a review before now because it is so hard (impossible) to put into words how amazing and incredible this adventure was! Before heading out for the first day of riding we got a thorough walkthrough of everything we needed to know. Because we were so well treated/informed by Panorama Trails both before and during the trip, we never had any problems along the trip. The horses (Rayo and Senegal) were beyond amazing. They really took care of us and were so calm, yet forward going and motivated, through the entire ride. It felt like they enjoyed this adventure as much as we did, which made it really nice. They are high quality horses who are really well taken care of. The GPS worked perfectly and we never got lost using it. Sometimes we would wonder if this is really the path to go as it could be very steep, but the wonderful horses climbed it without problems and we were in awe each time. The landscape along the ride was too incredible to describe, and as were the villages we visited and stayed in. We are visiting Catalonia again this year and have to visit some of the places again because they were so magical. I don’t want to spoil too much. The atmosphere of the ride, horses, accommodation, etc. just cannot be described. It was also such a special feeling to complete the ride on our own, through a foreign country on new horses. My boyfriend and I talk about this adventure nearly daily, still one year later, and we probably will never stop talking about it. Of course, it requires good knowledge about horses and riding, as well as a general fitness level, to complete, but if you are considering doing this ride, you should DEFINITELY do it!!! We never felt unsafe once during the ride, thanks to the horses and follow up from the team at Panorama Trails. Thank you for an amazing adventure!

"Beach to Beach" - Andorra Trail - July 2017

I did the Andorra trip with Panorama-Trails. 12 days on a horse back right into the Pyrenees. The horse was great, the views, the food, the accommodations; everything was amazing. Certainly not a trip for beginners. And after 12 days you are as strong as your horse!

"Beach to Beach" - Andorra Trail - July 2017

The Andorra Trail was my seventh ride at Panorama-trails. And as for all other trails it was very well organized and headed by the boss himself, Rudi. We were 8 riders from four contries where all were fluent in English. The horses we got were very strong and fit for the length of the trail and demanding terrain. Expect a lot of climbing and walking downhills by foot. You must have an independent seat and be able to handle your horse under all conditions. This trail is not for beginners. Bring good boots that has a good grip. Boots for riding arenas are simply not fit for this trail.

The trail will take you deep into the Pyrenees and there will be a LOT to see! This trail is the longest on Europe and most demanding. But I will promise you an experience of a lifetime, there is nothing like it. Rudi is a very experienced rider and guide and the trail is thoroughly planned in all details.

I would like to thank Rudi for his excellent guidance, Daniela for responding to all my questions ahead of the ride, Danny & co. for their excellent salads and cooking and setting up the camp and paddocs, and Jose for always being friendly and helpful when picking us up at the airport.

Look for a riding adventure of your life? Dont hestitate, sign up for the Andorra Trail! :-)

"Beach to Beach" - Andorra Trail - July 2017

Andorra Trail - best experience of my life!

If you love to ride horses and have a spirit of adventure then you have to do this trail, from the coast to Andorra at 2600 meters, 350 km in 11 days. It´s a challenging trip, lots of walking down steep hills, 8 hours riding every day, weather going from 35 degrees to zero and snow. We had plenty of fast gallops on the superbly fit horses, rode through magical mountain scenery, slept in rural hotels, mountain refuges, tents and even in a church! Rudi, the owner of Panorama Trails, guides the trail and has an amazing knowledge of the route, taking you up and down over 13000 meters of altitude, over mountain passes, through woods and fields, along tracks and tiny paths.

En-route we stopped at some amazing picnic sites, swam in lakes and rivers and camped in wild and beautiful places. At each stop the wonderful Dani, our support driver, was there to meet us with the campsite all set up, paddocks and food ready for the horses and a very welcome cold beer for us. The food and wine was quite outstanding, much of it cooked on camping stoves and often eaten in a mountain refuge in front of a roaring fire. Every day was completely different, each more wonderful than the one before. Our last night was unsupported camping at 2400 meters in Andorra, everything carried by the horses who are amazingly strong and never get tired.

This is my second time with Panorama Trails and they are the very best, superbly well organised, lovely friendly, efficient and helpful people and above all it´s such good fun. The only problem was trying to come to terms with real life after the trail was over.

If you want the experience of a lifetime then go, you won´t regret it
