The Luz-Saint-Sauveur valley
Bathed in light
Luz-Saint-Sauveur is the beating heart of the Pays Toy. This large mountain village is located at the crossroads of the Barèges and Gararnie valleys.
A wide valley bathed in light, this could well be your ideal base camp if you wish to move about and combine different types of activities, excursions and visits.
Taken in the great view from the villages clinging to the mountainside. There’s so much to do here, one stay certainly won’t be sufficient... you’ve been warned!
