Creative photography for travel and outdoors

No matter where you go or what camera you use, it's in your hands to capture your experience, your moment, and to seize or create photographic opportunities. We're going to introduce you to some concepts, go over some practical tips and, of course, present you with some inspiring images that will make you think about both your role as a "capturer of moments" and your next trip or adventure.

Ibones de Anayet

The Anayet lakes are a magical place. Just think what the wall in front of them looks like: the Pico del Anayet. The Anayet Peak is one of the classics of the Pyrenees. Like its neighbour Midi D'Ossau, it owes its origin to volcanic phenomena.

The best natural pools in the Pyrenees

Now that the heat is getting hotter, it is a good idea to get to know the natural jewels that the Pyrenees have to offer for a good dip. Let's take a look at some of the natural pools in the Aragonese Pyrenees. There is something for everyone: for those who want to contemplate the marvellous views, for those who prefer to spend a quiet day with the family and, of course, for those who are looking for thrills and spills.

Baztan with children

Baztán has been blessed geographically with features that will delight young and old alike. Visiting mountains, discovering rivers, discovering caves and letting your imagination run wild in the open air are some of the light activities you can do with children in this Navarrese territory bordering France.

Font l'adou (Bagà)

The source of the Bastareny river is in the municipality of Gisclareny, at the Fonts de l'Adou, which are located at an altitude of 1,077 metres. They are located six kilometres from the village of Bagà, in Alt Berguedà, and it is a fairly simple excursion from the forest track that starts at the Pont de Sant Joan bridge.

Néouvielle massif, lakes and lagoons in magnificent granite landscapes

Ibones and lakes in magnificent granite landscapes. The landscape is completely sculpted by glaciers, which provide a varied habitat, which develops in full alpine meadows, pine forests, crystal clear waters and more than 80 blue water lakes. There is the opportunity to climb several peaks, including the Pic du Midi de Bigorre and the Pic de Bastan, and to go hiking and trekking.

Matterhorn Tour

The classic Matterhorn peak has inspired adventurers for generations, and this 145km tour does not disappoint. It is considerably more demanding than the popular alpine route, the Tour du Mont Blanc, and makes a great progression for those who have tried this type of alpine hiking before and wish to broaden their experience.
