Lourdes, a hiker’s paradise

There are several walking routes accessible from Lourdes. Make the most of the rich natural surroundings and set off on a walk from the town. Among the must-see routes are the Pic du Béout, the Pic du Jer, the walk around Lake Lourdes, the Chemin du Piémont Pyrénéen (GR 78), the GR 101 and the Voie Verte des Gaves. Each route offers views of the surrounding mountains and invites you to slow down.

Yes! Whether you’re looking for a half-hour walk or a trip lasting several days, you’ll find a range of routes to suit all types of walkers.

Families with children can safely follow the Voie Verte cycle path along the Gave de Pau. We also recommend the Tour du lac de Lourdes for an easy walk with a few well-marked rest stops along the lake’s banks.
