With its young, cheerful and dynamic team that already has a solid track record, Pedratour offers tourism services ranging from corporate trips to weekend getaways, all with one a mission: to enjoy and share unique, sustainable experiences.
A wide range of tourist services
Based in Berga, the agency offers experiences all over Catalonia and a few abroad as well. From booking airplane and train tickets to stays at hotels and spas, along with guided and self-guided journeys, travel insurance, organised activities and skiing programmes, Pedratour offers its clients, both individuals and companies, a full range of tourism services.
Its approach is a reflection its people, a group of professionals who are passionate about the land, with a zeal to learn and discover new places no matter where they are, and most importantly to share them with other travel lovers. To do this, they specialise in different areas (inbound and outbound tourism, vacations, corporate travel and incentives, etc.) and tailor their services to each client. The human factor is at the heart of Pedratour, and this can be seen in its customers’ satisfaction after having unforgettable experiences.
Active tourism and environmental education
Active tourism is one of Pedratour’s main strengths. Adventure lovers will find hiking routes, mountain biking, canyoning, via ferratas, hot-air ballooning, canoeing, spelunking, archery, bungee jumping and more, all organised with the utmost respect for the natural environment.
But they also organise activities for groups and schools to share the values of Catalonia’s cultural and natural heritage, with routes such as the Tren del Ciment train in Berguedà county. Their environmental education activities include tours such as “A vista de naturalista” [From a naturalist’s perspective]; a tour through the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park where participants learn how to identify the different species observed along the way and discuss the interaction between human beings and the natural environment; and ”“Analitzem l’aigua dels rius” [Let’s analyse river water], to discover the importance of water quality for the fauna that inhabit rivers. The legends of the Pyrenees, stargazing and learning how to identify animal tracks and birds of prey are other topics discussed on these outings, all of which follow the principles of ecotourism, which encourages travelling to a natural area to learn about it, interpret it, enjoy it and journey through it while contributing to its conservation.
Making nature available to everyone
Pedratour’s commitment to sustainable tourism comes across in everything it does. It is concerned not only with environmental sustainability but also with economic and social sustainability. This holistic approach ensures that visitors alter the environmental balance as little as possible.
Plus, the company was a pioneer in inclusive tourism, offering accessible activities for people with special needs, with the firm conviction that everyone should have the opportunity to experience nature. People with reduced mobility or visual or auditory disabilities have enjoyed a day at the beach or in the mountains thanks to outings with Joëlette chairs, guide poles, sign-language interpreters and tactile materials.
With their clear vision and profound commitment to environmental conservation and inclusion, Pedratour works to ensure that everyone can enjoy nature while respecting and caring for it for future generations.
