The Bureau des Guides Vallée d’Ossau is made up of seven self-employed mountain professionals who have been living and working in the Ossau Valley for many years. They are also mountain enthusiasts and travel the valley in all seasons, participating in activities such as hiking, skiing, mountaineering, canyoning, climbing, and traveling. The team aims to work together, live off their passion, and make visitors discover the beauty of the mountains.
The team has joined a local union (Statute of ski schools and guide offices) to progress and support each other in the mountains, believing that nothing beats a team, solidarity, and sharing. Coming from diverse backgrounds and with multiple sensibilities, this richness allows the team to offer a varied program reflecting the particularism of each of its members.
The Bureau des Guides Vallée d’Ossau offers various activities such as snowshoeing, hiking, artistic (watercolour or land-art) hikes, Nordic walking, and canyoning. Visitors can also hire a “commitment” guide if they have a specific project or simply want to stay among themselves. The guides pay particular attention to everyone’s walking pace to ensure that visitors can take full advantage of the proposed outings.
Customers of the Bureau des Guides Vallée d’Ossau come from various backgrounds and ages, ranging from kindergarten to seniors, including families, hiking clubs, works councils, people with disabilities, youth centres, and groups of friends. The team practices in the Pyrenees, particularly in the Ossau Valley where they live, and always seek the best compromise between their proposals, visitors’ desires, and mountain conditions.
For quality, friendliness, and respect for a fragile environment, the groups of the Bureau des Guides Vallée d’Ossau rarely exceed 12 people. The team also speaks Spanish and English if necessary.
