Paris/Ile De France
Hautes-Pyrénées in Midi-Pyrénées

In the Hautes Pyrénées, in winter, the arrival of the first snowfalls offers all forms of sliding sports. Enjoy the slopes of the 8 ski resorts, sensations guaranteed : discover beautiful sceneries during cross-country skiing day or a snowshoe trekking, to catch the natural atmosphere and the slow pace of life try dog sleigh or go merely for a stroll.

The apres-ski in the Hautes Pyrenees: the best has to be the spa baths... Here, the mountains are exceptionally rich in water sources- the rushing streams, waterfalls and lakes provide waters which bestow well-being and serenity. The waters eventually emerge in the innovative spa centres to guarantee your well-being after a day on the slopes. Relax and unwind at Aquensis, Balnéa, Luzéa, Sensoria and soon in Barèges, soak in the naturally hot waters full of invigorating minerals, hammams, or indulge in one of the many special treatments or massages.

The resorts of the Hautes Pyrénées reserve fantastic holiday for families. A far cry form the factory ski resorts, the local resorts have kept a human size. So that skiing remains a pleasure, they have developed high performance installations and a high standard of service. In every resort you will find kindergartens, secured beginners’ areas and activities to practice all together after a day on the slopes.


At an altitude of 2877 m, the Pic du Midi observatory will reveal the universe of the stars and planets. Lourdes is the place where thousands of pilgrims gather to pray at the foot of the Massabielle groto and the Cirque de Gavarnie is an inspiring and an enchanting place classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
