Cauterets
Altitude : Min 1730 m - Max 2450 m
Situated in the Pyrenees National Park, Cauterets is somewhere between a small mountain town and a village with elegant urban pretensions, making it absolutely charming.
During the roaring twenties, the thermal springs made it the high-society capital of the Pyrenees, then the 1960s saw the skiing industry take off.
There are two skiing areas for sporty visitors to enjoy. Downhill skiing is available at the Cirque du Lys just 12 minutes from Cauterets via the Lys cable car.
The Pont d’Espagne area at the heart of the Pyrenees National Park is a unique and fragile place known as Little Canada; it is perfect for cross-country skiing.
Everything is designed for you to have an excellent holiday and enjoy a great time. An unforgettable experience.
