Your stay in the Hautes-Pyrénées

Wahou experiences

Far from the big cities and industrial valleys, the Pyrenees have retained all the beauty of their original landscapes. Untracked expanses, breathtaking scenery, unique experiences… From the Pyrenees National Park to the Pic du Midi, discover snow as a VIP with our all-inclusive holidays designed to suit every taste.

Wild slides

The mountains here are among the most unspoilt in Europe, where pastoral activity is still very much alive in summer. So it’s hardly surprising that it’s home to a succession of natural and protected areas: Pyrenees National Park, National Nature Reserve, UNESCO-listed site…
In winter, these fabulous sanctuaries are the wildest terrain for lovers of great descents in grandiose, unspoilt and silent landscapes.

Grand Tourmalet

A favourite playground for off-piste skiers and free-riders, the Domaine du Tourmalet is packed with off-piste itineraries.

Pic du Midi

1700m of ascent with the only echo being the glide under your skis.

Piau-Engaly

Choose the reverse side of Piau for a 1000-metre descent into the wild Badet valley at the gateway to the Pyrenees National Park.

Gavarnie

Planting your sticks in a breathtaking setting.

Ski touring in Gavarnie-Mont Perdu

Explore exceptional mountain landscapes listed as a World Heritage Site.

Snowshoeing

Leaving the ski slopes behind and venturing out into the vast expanses of white.

Sensations!

Descending steep slopes, scaling ice, taming the wind… If you dream of feeling that adrenalin rush, when the thrill and emotion intoxicate you, then this is the place!

Ice climbing

In Gavarnie, when the great waterfall freezes over in the cold of winter, ice climbers from all over the world rush off with crampons and ice axes to conquer their dreams.

Speed Riding

Flying on the snow or gliding through the air… Equipped with a pair of skis and a light wing, you can fly, jump and ride down inaccessible slopes.

Steep slope skiing

Somewhere between mountaineering and ski touring, steep slopes are all the rage these days. Good skiers can follow their mountain guide up wild faces before descending on slopes of over 40°. Pure moments of freedom!

Fat Bike

For a fun and original way to ride, get on this mountain bike with big tyres! With or without electric assistance for the more adventurous, this comfortable bike absorbs jolts and sticks to the snow.

PYRÉNÉES 2 VALLÉES

Saint-Lary – Peyragudes – Piau – Val Louron – Spain (Pineta & Baqueira Val d’Aran)

A cocoon-like atmosphere reigns here, where you can enjoy all at once: the pleasures of skiing, the beauty of wild landscapes, the enchantment of an open-air thermal bath, the hushed atmosphere of snow-covered forests, the spectacle of icy lakes, the tranquillity of a mountain village, the cosiness of cosy accommodation and the conviviality of festive evenings where Gascon and Iberian influences blend together.

THE VALLEYS OF GAVARNIE

Grand Tourmalet – Gavarnie – Cauterets – Luz Ardiden – Hautacam

The great valley that runs from Lourdes to Gavarnie, so familiar in summer, takes on an unusual face in winter, but is always grandiose and magnificent.
Surrounded by the Pyrenees National Park, you enter an exceptional mountain landscape with breathtaking sc enery: Gavarnie, Pic du Midi, Pont d’Espagne…

And from one discovery to the next, you’ll get to know this land of many different landscapes.
