The Hautes-Pyrénées also offers mountain bikers nearly 1600 km of marked trails for all levels. Take the chairlift up, then ride down the mountain side on a mountain bike!
Hiking
The Hautes-Pyrénées invites you to discover its 3,000 km of marked trails to indulge your favourite passion: hiking ! From our campsite in Luz-Saint-Sauveur, many itineraries allow you to escape to the summits, in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park.
