    Pic du Jer is true heaven place must see above the city of Lourdes. The place has an exceptional panorama awaits visitors. I enjoyed my visit and having to exprienced the unsbructive views of the mountains in Hautes-Pyreness. Highly recommended and it is just 20 minutes from the city proper. Lourdes is a small town and its easy to find the place. The only way to get there is via amazing finicular ride and it cost 13.50 euros return. There is restaurant on the top and worth spending time at the place just to enjoy the views and can also be a walkable.

    The Furnicular offers opportunities to see Lourdes from the mountain without the hard work. It also provides transport for mountain bikers who like a fast downhill challenge - the front of the carriage has a cage for mountain bikes to be transported up to the top of the mountain. The carriage has some small chair lifts to allow less able people to visit the top of the mountain, but the paths are uneven and wouldn't allow much exploring other than to see the views. We visited on a grey early September day with low-ish cloud so did not expect perfect views and when we purchased our tickets, we were told this and also shown the feed from a camera at the top so we knew what to expect. The carriage passes through a couple of tunnels on the way and views looking down on Lourdes and of the surrounding forest and trees are excellent. On a sunny, clear day, the views would be exceptional, but we were lucky and the clouds lifted a few times allowing us to see the mountains in the far distance. There is a small cafe that sells a selection of snacks along with hot and cold drinks and also a cave that can be visited at an extra charge. The cave is really a man-made tunnel that connects a couple of naturally formed chambers and fluourescein has been added to water that flows through the cave at one point. This is just to make it more visible for tourists. There are the very tiny beginnings of stalactites and stalagmites, but no real formations. The history of the cave is mostly about it's development as a tourist attraction. The guided walk through the tunnel brings you out on a track further round the mountain with a short walk back down to the tunnel entrance and furnicular. There's a loop off this path that takes you up to the cross on the peak. The waiting room at the top of the furnicular allows you to see the working of the mechanisms used to raise and lower the carriages. There are also pieces of old machinery and photos showing the building of the furnicular. The mini train that travels around Lourdes stops here and there are regular bus stops on the road outside so getting here is easy. It is worth making a visit if the weather is clear and views will be good, or if you want two wheeled downhill action, but on a wet or misty day it's probably not the best value and the cave doesn't add a great deal to the experience although Patrice, the guide was excellent and did a very good job despite 'having very little English'. With our French and his English, he conveyed his passion for the mountains and his cave and made our visit worthwhile.

    Well worth the trip. A great restaurant at the top with very good food at a fair price. In good weather this is an enjoyable afternoon. Take the extra walk to the top of the mountain to see the cross.

    2 / 5 Reviews posted by Jalupaisla on 04/04/2024

    The views on that day were great. The funicular railway was excellent, however, the toilet facility was shocking to say the least. It is a portaloo which was obviously not being maintained and...
