In the heart of the Pyrenees National Park
Cauterets Pont d'Espagne
|
The Pont d’Espagne is one of the most iconic natural sites in the Pyrenees. From the very first steps, the sound of waterfalls accompanies your walk as the torrents rush down between the rocks and fir trees. Here, the water shapes the landscape and creates a soothing atmosphere, perfect for both exploration and contemplation.
Thanks to the cable car and chairlift, everyone can easily reach the wide-open spaces of the Pyrenees National Park. The trails then take you to the famous Lake Gaube, the glacial valleys or simply allow you to enjoy the many viewpoints. An ideal destination for a family walk, a hike or a day out in the fresh air.
Lake Gaube is a lake ideal for family walks. For those who are less fit, it can be reached from the Pont d’Espagne via a chairlift.
