THE PIC DU JER FUNICULAR: A UNIQUE ASCENT

A journey through time

Established in Lourdes for over a century, the Pic du Jer funicular is much more than just a means of transport: it's a family experience in its own right. In just a few minutes, it whisks passengers to the summits while offering a progressive view of the city and surrounding landscapes. Young and old alike enjoy this unique climb, 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 is attractive for its simplicity and safety. Throughout the journey, two cabins cross automatically 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 as educational as it is fun. Climbing to the Pic du Jer then becomes an original activity, perfect for a family visit, an outing with friends or a group discovery.

Discover the summits differently

Once you reach the summit, the show continues: a path leads to the observatory, from where you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama of Lourdes, the valley and the entire Pyrenees mountain range. Between an outdoor walk, discovering the flora and fauna, or simply taking a break to admire the landscape, everyone can find something to suit them. It is 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 schools, associations and groups of 15 people or more, with advantageous rates. For private events – seminars, birthdays, family meals – it is possible to combine the climb to the summit with a catering package in a room equipped with 30 seats.

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