Can you escape France?

What is it?

Running from Southwestern France into Spain, The Pyrenees trek is a once in a lifetime adventure. This challenging trek follows a World War Two escape route used by thousands of allied servicemen and Jewish refugees, taking you high into the Pyrenees mountains with ascents of approximately 2,500m, before descending into Spain.

Our guides will bring the exploits of the escapees to life, sharing the stories of the exceptional individuals who risked their lives for freedom, as well as the local people or “passeurs” who aided their escape. This trek is no easy feat. You’ll encounter harsh terrain and conditions, however nowhere as near as difficult as the individuals who risked it all to escape decades ago. Join us on this unforgettable adventure and commemorate these individuals, whilst supporting the Army family of today. Are you up for the challenge of escaping France?
