Things to do in Midi-Pyrénées, Occitanie: The Best Outdoor Activities

August 23, 2021 Alida England

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.

Absolutely awesome animal park. You can tell that all animals are really well looked after and the layout is really fantastic. Be prepared for a light hike to get up to see the Canadian wolves. Will definitely come back. Great for kids and adults of all ages

Randonnees au Depart de l'Hospice de France

Reviewed By VAGABOND0445 - Perpignan, France

This place is high up in the pyrenees. It is the most fantastic location and was once a refuge for various travelers centuries ago and again for World War II resistance fighters to go back and forwards between Spain and France. There is a Monument there in the honour of the fighters If you want to eat there you have to make a booking at least the day before as it is very popular. It is well worth the drive up the windy narrow road to the hospice. The walks are numerous and for all levels of experience and available time The scenery is magnificent - the high mountains rising up all around. Not to be missed by serious hikers and walkers. There are places to stay like the refuge huts but on inspection we found these to be very musty and mouldy smelling and therefore Not a good option for people with respiratory problems.
