    • “A JOURNEY INTO THE UNDERGROUND WORLD OF PIC DU JER”

      The guided tour of the highest developed caves in France will take you into the underground gallery of Pic du Jer, on an easily accessible route 360 meters long.

      HISTORY OF THE CAVES

      20,000 years ago, when the glaciers melted, water seeped in and dug the Pic du Jer at its summit. Rock debris was deposited and blocked the bottom of the chasms as well as the natural opening at the start of the visit, leaving only a few meters of passage accessible. Work was then undertaken to connect the various crevasses and natural cavities located under the summit of the Pic. The caves have been open to the public since 1958.


      THE VISIT IN BRIEF

      11 rooms make up the tour route along the 360-metre gallery. You can admire concretions from the oldest to the most recent (stalactites, stalagmites and draperies) and you will be impressed by the chasms (the deepest 45 metres). You will pass in front of large faults, testifying to the formation of the Pyrenees.

      At the exit of the gallery, a landscape reading will be offered to you, concluding this wonderful discovery of the underground world.

    The funicular was supposed to reopen in April and on the 16th it is still closed, very frustrating not being able to visit it…

    I went to the funicular and it was closed for no reason! Several people came for nothing! Why not indicate it on your site or social networks!

    Didn’t use the service to get up the mountain but I climbed the mountain myself. One of the best views I’ve ever seen and absolute must if you’re near lourdes.

    We went in the off-season--the funicular was not running--and hiked to the top of the mountain. I am not a hiker, and I managed to get up and down in about 3 hours with my teen children. We also...
