🎿 Winter activities
Ski holidays at La Mongie / Grand Tourmalet, the largest and most varied ski area in the Pyrenees, suited to beginners and experienced skiers alike.
Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing at Payolle (~20 min, 12 miles, at the foot of the Col d'Aspin): 70 km/43 miles of trails in a landscape nicknamed the Pyrenean "Little Canada".
Ice zip-lining over the frozen Adour gorge, near the Pic du Midi (November to April) – a spectacular winter thrill.
Husky sledding – a magical family experience in the La Mongie/Payolle area.
Bagnères-de-Bigorre, a lively spa town: its big Saturday morning market (8am-1pm, around 200 stalls), plus restaurants and good tables just minutes from the gîte.
☀️ Summer activities
Lake Génos-Loudenvielle (~1 hour, 35 miles, via the scenic Col d'Aspin): swimming, an aquapark, stand-up paddleboarding, an easy family lake walk.
Tandem paragliding, canyoning and white-water rafting on the Pyrenean rivers, all available from Bagnères-de-Bigorre and Argelès-Gazost.
Fancy a change of scenery? The Spanish border is only 1h15-1h30 (roughly 45-50 miles) away via the Bielsa tunnel – some local guides even run canyoning day trips across the border, at the foot of Mont Perdu.
🏔️ Year-round
Cable car to the Pic du Midi de Bigorre: observatory and 360° panoramic views across the whole Pyrenean range.
Day trip to Pau (~1 hour, 40 miles): Henri IV's château, the famous Boulevard des Pyrénées, a great food market.
Thermal spa and relaxation in Bagnères-de-Bigorre.
Walking, cycling, nature.
Combine mountains and ocean in the same week – the Atlantic coast is about 2 hours (114 miles) away.

Lourdes and its world-famous sanctuary, one of the largest Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world (~25 minutes).
Donjon des Aigles in Beaucens (~35-40 minutes): an 11th-century medieval castle housing one of the world's most prestigious birds-of-prey collections, with a free-flight show every afternoon (Easter to end of September).
Parc Animalier des Pyrénées in Argelès-Gazost (~35-40 minutes): around a hundred animal species in a mountain setting, a great family day out.
