programme

On the programme for your stay

4 days / 4 nights

Day 1

Arrive and settle into your hotel in Argelès-Gazost. You will then make your way to the Le Jardin des Bains spa centre. From the dazzling waterfalls of the emerald forest to the hushed atmosphere of the Babylonian hammams and their hanging gardens, you’ll discover all the pleasures offered by the water gardens, the walking trail, the scented baths and the mysterious Inca well.

Dinner on your own. Night at your hotel.

Day 2

Enjoy breakfast and set off to discover another exceptional site.
Gavarnie, a mythical site, world-famous and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The view of the cirque from the village is already breathtaking. An easy path leads you to the Hostellerie du Cirque. Then you’re at the foot of Europe’s highest waterfall. Spouting out from a height of 423 metres, it’s a majestic sight!
Other magnificent sites to discover include the Cirque de Troumouse, the Cirque d’Estaubé and the Plateau de Saugué, with its panoramic views over Gavarnie, as well as the famous Brèche de Roland and the Col de Tentes trail. The choice is yours!

On the way back, close to the famous Pont Napoléon, Luzéa, the spa centre, appears as if suspended from the mountainside. Its fragrant vapours will envelop you in a world of relaxation.

Dinner on your own. Night at your hotel.

Day 3

After breakfast, you’ll set off on a new adventure.
Cauterets – Pont d’Espagne, the wonderful garden of the Pyrenees in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park. A succession of waterfalls and bubbling torrents, the road that takes you there is a real spectacle in itself. Its unspoilt countryside is ideal for walks and the starting point for many hikes in the Gaube and Marcadau valleys. Enjoy the scenery while sitting under a hooked pine. If you keep your eyes peeled, you’re sure to spot an isard!

To round off the day in style, the Bains du Rocher balneotherapy centre invites you to relax in a refined atmosphere. Giant chandeliers and damask curtains, jade floors and calade walls, pearly mosaics and glass beads… The outdoor lagoon, full of bubbling games, lets you bask on the rockside in water at 38°C.

Dinner on your own. Night at your hotel.
