Snowshoeing at the Pont d’Espagne
The Marcadau Valley (4 hrs, +400 m) You’ll start off gently by encountering the icy waterfalls of the Pont d’Espagne. The Gave of the same name winds its way through this endless valley. This is the river that will accompany you throughout the walk. The enchanting forest will reveal its most beautiful secrets and the animal tracks will give you an insight into the life of the wild fauna in winter. The well-distributed gradient will be easily swallowed and you’ll arrive at the refuge enchanted by this fabulous day and the dream setting in which you’ll be able to spend the night.

Snowshoeing activity
Snowshoeing through the lakes
Les lacs d’Opale(6h30, +400 m/-850 m) After a warm breakfast looking out of the refuge window at this idyllic setting, you’ll take in the scenery. Once you’ve put on your snowshoes, you’ll head up to the Opale and Cambalès lakes. From the highest point of the day, you’ll enjoy a picnic surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The playful descent through the snowfields will bring you back to your starting point.

Balneo Bains Du Rocher in Cauterets
Les Bains du Rocher welcomes you to a refined setting combining jade floors and calade walls, for a moment of well-being.
The relaxation area features indoor and outdoor hot thermal pools with massaging jets, jacuzzi, bubble beds, steam room, sauna and relaxation room.
The treatments area offers personalised services in elegant cabins, with massages, marine treatments and reflexology.
Finally, the Fitness area lets you move at your own pace, with yoga, aquagym, fitness and tailor-made coaching.
Your hotel is located in the centre of Cauterets, a small Pyrenean holiday village. With their air of English “ladies”, the two sisters, Bernadette and Rose Marie, despite being natives of the area, have created an environment in this family home that reflects their image.
Lace and embroidery, pink or blue bedspreads and antique knick-knacks make the place a real ‘bonbonnière’. The bedrooms are love nests where every detail – like the lavender sachets hanging from the wardrobe door handles – imbues you with romance.
Refuge Wallon2022 7280 1

Situated in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, the Wallon-Marcadau refuge is isolated at the bottom of a valley that feels like the end of the world. Built twice, in 1910 and 1930, it was completely renovated in 2022 to offer greater comfort while retaining its old-world charm. The original foundations of the building and the historic gables of the reception area bear witness to its past, while blending in with the modern architecture.
Somewhere between a mountain hotel and a refuge, the 110 beds are divided into dormitories for 8 – 14 – 16 people, with shared bathroom facilities, optional hot showers and a drying area. Thanks to a drinking water catchment, a small hydroelectric power station and photovoltaic panels, it is completely self-sufficient in energy and blends in perfectly with the landscape of the Pyrenees National Park.
The estimated budget for this stay is €434 per person.
Just give us a call and we’ll organise everything for you: a cosy residence at a good price, a good address for dinner, a snowshoe walk with a guide, a hot bath in the open air, a dog-sledding trip… And we’ll share our tips with you to make sure your holiday is like no other.
