Hiking in the Pyrenees: Butterflies and marmots in summer

This summer trekking is an unforgettable experience, designed to bring you closer to the fascinating world of butterflies and marmots in the heart of the Pyrenees. This route is an immersion in nature, where the beauty of the landscape is combined with the discovery of the biology of these unique species.

We start the walk through alpine meadows and flowery paths, where the diversity of butterflies is astonishing. At every step, you will find yourself surrounded by butterflies of all colours and shapes, from majestic queen butterflies to tiny cabbage whites. Our expert guide will lead you in observing these delicate creatures, explaining their life cycle, from egg to adult, and revealing the mechanisms they use to survive and thrive in this mountainous environment. You will learn about their feeding habits, their pollination strategy and the adaptations that allow them to withstand the climatic changes of the high mountains.

As we progress, we will enter more rocky territories, where marmots make their burrows. These friendly creatures, known for their characteristic whistle, are one of the most fascinating inhabitants of the Pyrenees. Along the way, we will have the opportunity to observe them as they play, feed or watch their surroundings, always alert to any possible danger. The guide will reveal the secrets of their biology: how they organise their colonies, the way they adapt to the harsh conditions of winter hibernating for months, and their communication and defence strategies against predators.

This trek is not just a walk, but an in-depth exploration of the wildlife and biology of these species. It is an opportunity to learn how butterflies and marmots are intrinsically linked to the Pyrenean ecosystem, contributing to the balance and richness of biodiversity. By the end of the day, you will feel connected to nature, with a new appreciation for these small but important inhabitants of the Pyrenees. This experience offers you a perfect combination of discovery, education and enjoyment in the middle of one of the most spectacular landscapes in Europe.
