Destination Outdoor
The Val d'Azun is a wilderness destination where fans of sensations and fresh air come to indulge in their favorite sports and leisure activities in its grandiose landscapes. Here we try to take the height, to ride on mountain bikes on the ridges, to climb a mountain top, to challenge the passes in cyclo, to run in the summer pastures, to fly in its azure sky ... Number of tracks and trails offer an incredible playground where all desires meet.Between the passes of Soulor and Couraduque, cross-country ski trails in winter, you can go hiking and picking, but also mountain biking, electric scooters, trail or even paragliding. But it is in the Pyrenees National Park that hikers or even fishermen find a multitude of discoveries as beautiful and surprising as each other.
Wonders of the Pyrenees National Park
Where to enter the park? ... At the bottom of the valley of Estaing Lake after an hour's walk or after the Tech dam at Arrens the road continues to the doors of the National Park. From the Plan d'Aste and its park house, a thirty-minute walk is enough to reach the pretty lake of Suyen which opens access to landscapes full of strength and serenity. Three refuges allow to spend an extraordinary night in these protected landscapes, in the heart of a living nature under a unique starry sky. In this natural domain we come as a guest and we respect some essential rules to allow this wealth to continue.To learn all about the fauna and flora, the guards invite visitors to the summer meeting points and supervised outings. A stop is essential to the House of Val d'Azun and the Pyrenees National Park in the heart of the pretty village of Arrens-Marsous to visit the exhibition, watch a film, buy a book or enjoy all the good advice of reception staff to organize their hike.
