  • English
    • The Cirque de Gavarnie is grandiose and has always been appreciated by everyone! It is the most famous of the 3 cirques in the Pyrenees (Estaube and Troumouse). In the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, this set of 33,000 ha is listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. There is a remarkable flora and fauna, studied since the 16th century by botanists, scientists and appreciated by artists of all kinds.

      1700m high for 14km in circumference, surrounded by mountains that exceed 3000m, here are its proportions! You will also see the Breche de Roland, a place of legends and stories. A waterfall completes this panorama with more than 400m of fall, visible when the snow melts. The little extra of Gavarnie is its ease of access! Barely an hour and a half walk from the village, you can even do it on horseback for riders.
