During World War II, thousands of Jewish refugees, Allied pilots, and resistance fighters fled Nazi-occupied Europe, seeking sanctuary beyond the Pyrenees. The mountain trails became lifelines—harsh, remote, and treacherous, but vital paths to freedom.
On this private expedition, we’ll follow sections of these authentic routes and explore mountain passes, and historic wartime sites. You’ll learn how escapees survived, where they found shelter, how locals helped them, and what fate awaited those who were caught.
