What can you do in Hautes-Pyrénées in winter?

Like any mountain range, there is of course skiing, plus all the activities linked to snow! You have snowboarding, cross-country skiing (are you more classic or skating ?)... And you can also discover the region in a gentler way with beautiful snowshoe walks.

Cross-country skiing has been on the rise in recent years and allows you to explore the mountains without having to depend on lifts. Obviously with the necessary equipment to stay safe!

Apart from snow activities, there are many other things to do: dog sledding, relaxing in a spa, sledging, or simply enjoying a good meal in a restaurant or in your holiday residence.

The Pic du Midi... yes, but which one?

Not to be confused with the Crêt du Midi in the Alps, the Pic du Midi is often talked about. Yes, but when you type it into Google, you get several results. Which is the real Pic du Midi?

Everyone has their own answer: you have the Pic du Midi d'Ossau, Pic du Midi de Bigorre / Tourmalet, Pics du Midi de Sorède, Pic du Midi d'Arrens...

But the most unusual and extraordinary is the one in Bigorre, in Mongie, with its astronomical observatory, its sky bridge and its frozen waterfall. No matter which Pic du Midi you want to climb, you will have an unforgettable mountain experience!

What activities are available in the summer in Hautes-Pyrénées?

Fancy a little break in the mountains during the summer? There is no shortage of things to do in the Pyrenees during July and August! Some examples to whet your appetite:

• Summer tobogganing
• Walks and hikes

Summer sledding: Some resorts have specific equipment for sledding...without the snow! You'll be riding downhill on rails: a must-try!

Walks and hikes: There are many of these for all levels: whether it's for 1 hour or for the day, you're bound to find something to suit you!

Relaxing at the spa: For a little relaxation, you can try a spa with a jacuzzi, hammam or sauna.
