Who Can Join the Pyrenees Traverse Trek Rooming and Group Options Explained
Dietary Accommodation on the Pyrenees Traverse
At Salamander Adventures, we strive to ensure all trekkers have a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and this includes catering to a variety of dietary requirements during the Pyrenees Traverse trek. The following dietary considerations are taken into account:
Vegetarian and Vegan Diets
- Vegetarian Options: All accommodations along the trek provide vegetarian meals, featuring regional specialities like vegetable stews, pasta dishes, and salads.
- Vegan Options: Vegan meals are available upon request. These typically include plant-based dishes such as rice, legumes, fresh vegetables, and fruit-based desserts.
Gluten-Free and Coeliac Needs
- Gluten-Free Options: We cater to gluten-free requirements with advance notice, ensuring alternatives like gluten-free bread, pasta, and snacks are available.
- Coeliac Considerations: Extra precautions are taken for coeliac travellers to avoid cross-contamination, especially during meal preparation in refuges and hotels.
Lactose-Free and Dairy Allergies
- Lactose-free alternatives, including plant-based milk and dairy-free spreads, are available for breakfast and other meals.
- Meals are prepared without dairy ingredients for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies upon prior request.
No Pork or Red Meat
- Regional dishes can be customised to exclude pork and red meat, with a focus on poultry, fish, or vegetarian substitutes.
Food Allergies
- Allergies, including nuts, shellfish, and other allergens, are carefully noted and communicated to all accommodations.
- Dedicated utensils and cookware are used to minimise cross-contamination risks where possible.
Planning and Communication
To ensure dietary needs are met seamlessly:
- Notify us of your requirements when booking.
- Remind your guide at the start of the trek to confirm arrangements.
- Carry personal snacks if you have highly specific needs, as some remote locations may have limited supplies.
