typical village and the cradle of Pyrenean mountaineering. It is
a paradise for mountain climbers and home to the most famous Pyrenean
guides.
From the village, contemplate

the largest ice cascade in Europe (423 m). The village has a large
number of inns, restaurants and bars where you can relax and enjoy
yourselves..
Gèdre,
Set on the Gaves de Gavarnie and Héas confluence, Gèdre
(1,000 m) is a typical example of a rural mountain commune where
pastoral activities regulate day-to-day living. It is a lifestyle
that the inhabitants will be happy to share with you.
Gèdre offers a stunning
mountain environment : the Estaubé and Troumouse corries,
the Bué valley and its lakes, and the Saugué plateau,
an extraordinary viewpoint overlooking the Gavarnie corrie.
In the Héas valley, known
for the tales and legends surrounding its Madonna and chapel, discover
the Gloriettes dam and the Pragnères hydroelectric plant,
one of the largest in Europe.
