Cauterets Pont d’Espagne

Escape to the great outdoors

Cauterets is a little mountain town which boomed during the golden age of thermalism. And yet it’s one of the most visited spots in the Pyrenees. And for a reason!
From the Pont d'Espagne to the Marcadau valley, from the valley of the Lutour to the Lac de Gaube, from the waterfall path to the Lisey plateau, you will be struck by the diversity of landscapes, the beauty of the mountain streams and torrents, by the majesty of the lakes and the richness of flora and fauna.
