The 10 Best Mountains in Midi-Pyrénées, Occitanie

November 28, 2021 Nicolette Lion

Stretching from the wooded Dordogne to the towering peaks of the Pyrenees, this vast region is a popular winter sports destination, but one without the hordes that besiege the Alps. Spring's melted snows lure kayakers and rafting enthusiasts. In summer, amateur and advanced hikers take to the hills.

Col de Tourmalet

Reviewed By Domkoppie - South Africa, null

This pass is spectacular for the scary drive as well as the amazing views. No barriers in many places!!! Those cyclists have a lots of courage! We visited in mid-May and it still had remains of snow on the slopes. Plenty of cyclists, so be especially careful for them. It was freezing at the top!

Pic Du Midi

Pic du Midi in the Hautes-Pyrénées. An exceptional destination in high mountain for the holidays and the weekends: families, tourist groups, school outings, events and seminars of companies. All year long, access for all by cable car from La Mongie, at feet of the Col du Tourmalet. At the summit the most beautiful panorama of the Pyrenees, a museum on the astronomy and the history of the Pic du Midi, a Planetarium, a traditional restaurant of altitude. Mountain bike downhill.

We saw this crazy place on Tour de France footage, and so made the effort to get there. We absolutely loved it. Everything we were hoping it would be!

Amazing place for a walk until Lac Gaube, about one hour walk plus 45min back. Amazing views. Not hard.

Reviewed By gordonj258 - Blackpool, United Kingdom

A very picturesque area that you can access with the car and just stop to admire this magnificent place or for the more adventurous there is lots of walking to be had. Usually snowed up at this time of year but not this year at this time.
