Wonderful local trsins and buses got us to Cauteret from Tarbes we enjoyed three nights exploring walking around the area the only problem disappointment - and it was a real let down - was that Cauterets Spa insisted my husband wore their brand of trunks so we were unable to enter as we refused to pay or new ones from them when he had normal suitable trunks that just didn't meet their specifications -God knows why- no explanation was given

Reserve Naturelle du Neouvielle

Reviewed By chrispR6399BO - Sun Valley, United States

Gorgeous part of the world with stunning view and beautiful lakes - in some of the lakes you can see trout cruising around feeding on the surface - hiking is quite vertical but worth the effort- we had a 1000 foot gain in elevation on our hike- if you have mobility issues this might not be for you - the road up there is barely 1 lane in spots with lots of switchbacks but the views make it worth while - just go slow and let the locals and the aggressive drivers pass you.

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!

Sanctuaire Notre Dame de Lourdes

Reviewed By laurencC2840FK - Paris, France

Through walking the cute quiet town of montemarte, which has tons of quirky art and souvenir shops, you reach the beautiful church and climb up to the dome. Lots of stairs so be prepared but worth it.
