Snowshoeing and grilling in the moonlight

In Hautacam
  • 76
  • 160

At dusk, play night owl on snowy paths deserted by visitors. Take a few steps on funny snowshoes and at the end of the path, the reward: a splendid sunset from the Hautacam peaks. Let the night settle in as you make your way to a mountain hut where you’ll share a feast of grilled meats over an open fire. With a full stomach and a happy heart, set off on your adventure by torchlight under a starry sky told by your guide.

On the programme for your stay

2 days / 2 nights

Arrival day

You arrive and settle into your hotel in Argelès Gazost. You will have dinner in the place of your choice and then spend your first night in the hotel.

Continuation of the stay

Snowshoeing under the stars

An unusual snowshoe hike on the Hautacam ridges to watch the sun set and let the night settle in, before heading to a mountain hut and lighting the fire for a barbecue feast. Your guide will tell you all about the sun and the stars of our galaxy as seen from the sky. Walking under the stars has a different flavour. The atmosphere is radically different, and the emotion is palpable. It’s an experience not to be missed! From 6 p.m. onwards, a barbecue meal will be served.
The walk will take around 3 hours and involve a 300 m ascent. The return to the starting point is scheduled for around midnight. The walk is accessible to most people (those in good physical condition) and to children aged 10 and over.

On the way back, you will spend your second night at the hotel.

Outdoor activities at the Pont d’Espagne

Just a few minutes from Cauterets, the Pont d’Espagne site in the Pyrenees National Park is idyllic. With its wild expanses, streams, waterfalls and pine forests, the site has lived up to its name of “Little Canada”. Snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, tobogganing, snowball fights – there’s something for everyone here. End of your stay.

Hosting

3-star hotel in Argelès Gazost

The result of an architect’s competition, this original building with the look of an ocean liner dates back to 1930. Acquired and transformed into a hotel by the Pucheu family in 1960, it invites you to a very special stopover. And what about the restaurant? Between nouvelle cuisine and local gastronomy, it finds its inspiration in the colours of the seasons and the scents of the market. Are you boarding?
