A must-visit restaurant in Barèges during winter.

Located at the foot of the slopes in Barèges, L'Auberge du Lienz is the ideal place to stop after a day of skiing, snowshoeing, or hiking. Enjoy hearty cuisine in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

As night falls, the large fireplace crackles, bathing the restaurant in the ambiance of a true mountain chalet. Evenings by the fire invite relaxation and sharing over local flavors.
