The valleys of Gavarnie in Hautes-Pyrénées

At the foot of Le Tourmalet, in the Vallée de Barèges, you can combine sports activities with some time to relax thanks to the thermal waters. The highest spa resort, its waters can be used as a rheumatology and ENT treatment; Cieléo offers a wellness area in addition to hydrotherapy treatments. 

Dotted with pretty villages perched on the slopes, the Vallée de Luz Saint-Sauveur immerses you in mountain life: from the unique flavours of the regional produce to the authenticity of the hosts and inhabitants, not forgetting the soft rays of sunlight that light up Luz (light in Spanish) and the high surrounding peaks… it is a whole art of living!

Located in the heart of the Parc national des Pyrénées, Cauterets is a blend of mountain village and spa town. At the Pont d’Espagne, a listed Major Site in Occitanie, you are immersed in a natural spectacle featuring multiple waterfalls and can set off hiking and to explore the mountain lakes. The Lac de Gaube is undoubtedly the most well-known, accessible by chair lift or on foot.

A popular holiday destination, Argelès-Gazost is ideally located, drawing visitors in thanks to its strategic position and microclimate. Palm trees, an English landscape park and large villas have given this lovely spa town its nickname “Petit Nice” (Little Nice). 

Be charmed by its authentic villages, poetic bridges, unspoilt nature, mountain lakes, barns and herds of animals. Pastoralism is the soul of these mountains in the Parc national des Pyrénées which live according to the seasons and give the Val d’Azun cheese its delicious scent of freedom.
