The villages : Gavarnie & Gèdre

Gavarnie
Gavarnie, at an altitude of 1,375 m, is proud of its image as a 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 magic of the Gavarnie corrie (rising up to 3,000 metres) and 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.
