    • THE PIC DU JER FUNICULAR: A UNIQUE ASCENT

      A journey out of time

      Located in Lourdes for over a century, the Pic du Jer funicular is much more than just a means of transport: it's a unique family experience. In just a few minutes, it whisks passengers up to the mountain peaks, offering a gradual view of the town and surrounding landscapes. Young and old alike enjoy this original ascent, which allows them to discover the mountains effortlessly, in a friendly and surprising atmosphere.


      Technology at the service of escape

      Based on an ingenious system of rails and cables, the funicular impresses with its simplicity and safety. Throughout the journey, two cabins automatically pass each other thanks to a clever rail system, guaranteeing a smooth and reassuring ascent. This invention, inherited from the 19th century, combines heritage and modernity to offer an experience that is both educational and fun. Climbing to the summit of Pic du Jer thus becomes a unique activity, perfect for a family outing, a trip with friends, or a group adventure.


      Discover the peaks in a different way

      Once you reach the summit, the spectacle continues: a path leads to the observatory, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Lourdes, the valley, and the entire Pyrenees mountain range. Whether you're looking for an outdoor stroll, discovering the local flora and fauna, or simply taking a break to admire the scenery, there's something for everyone. It's a family activity that brings together all generations, ideal for sharing a friendly moment, celebrating an event, or organizing a group outing.


      For groups and events

      The Pic du Jer funicular also welcomes school groups, associations, and groups of 15 or more, with advantageous rates. For private events – seminars, birthdays, family meals – it is possible to combine the ascent to the summit with a catering option in a room equipped with 30 seats.


      Boarding the Pic du Jer funicular is choosing an original, accessible and friendly family activity, which transforms a simple ascent into a true moment of discovery and sharing.

    Once at the top, you can walk up to the cross (15 minutes). The descent to the departure station takes 1 hour and 15 minutes at a leisurely pace. Good footwear is recommended as some sections are slippery.
