CDT Hautes-Pyrénées, France

The Pyrénées form a majestic frontier over 450 km in length between France and Spain. In the middle of this formidable barrier lies the ‘départment’ of Hautes-Pyrénées. The area is renowned for its natural beauty and plethora of activities that are available year round. In winter of course skiing, snow boarding and other snow-based sports abound but in summer too there are many sites to visit and activities to undertake. The highest points of the Pyrénées lie in the Hautes-Pyrénées and the wild, varied countryside offers something for even the most fickle of tastes. There are lakes and waterfalls, rivers and natural springs (hence the existence of several spas) verdant plains and forests where unique species of flora and fauna can be found.

Noteworthy attractions include the Pic du Midi - at 2,877m - the Observatory has been here since 1880 offering the most marvellous opportunities to astronomers, stargazers and scientists alike; Lourdes, which celebrated its 150th Anniversary in 2008 and the cirques of Gavarnie – now a UNESCO protected area of natural beauty, it is one of the most breathtaking experiences of the Pyrénées.
