Your stay in the Hautes-Pyrénées

Attacking the Pic du Midi

This winter in the Pyrenees, the Pic du Midi is rolling out its white carpet! Mythical, powerful, easily accessible… The famous summit never ceases to seduce you. Its view over 300km of Pyrenean peaks is breathtaking, and there are plenty of experiences to be had up there. Our all-inclusive holidays, with or without skiing, combine freeride, a starlit night at the summit for dreamers, and panoramic terraces for suspended moments. And that’s just the beginning – the rest is up to you.

Welcome to the terraces of the Pyrenees at an altitude of almost 3000m. An easy cable car ride to the summit of the Pic du Midi and admire the panorama, or to go freeriding on its slopes, or spend a night or an evening here. This extraordinary site promises unparalleled thrills.

The most accessible summit in the Pyrenees

At La Mongie, the cable car takes visitors on a fifteen-minute journey. The journey is made up of 2 sections, with a change of cabin at Le Taoulet, from where you can access thefreeride area. The first section flies over the ski resort. The second, which faces the summit, overlooks a wild valley. As you go, the scenery reveals itself to be… splendid.

Spending a moment "on the ground

Few people can boast of drinking their coffee or snacking at an altitude of almost 3000 m, in a deckchair, facing the most mythical peaks of the Pyrenees.

Be one of the privileged few and enjoy this VIP moment. We won’t hide it from you, it’ll be hard to leave…

Roaming the white expanses

The 750m² of terraces are equipped with orientation tables to help you find your bearings… you can see over 300 km of Pyrenean peaks to the south. Turn around and you can see the great plains of the South West.

In the distance, if the weather is clear, you can see the foothills of the Massif Central.
