A UNESCO World Heritage site. The Gavarnie-Gèdre trans-frontier territory, backing onto the Spanish Anisclo and Pineta canyons, as well as the mythical Ordesa canyon, forms part of the “Pyrénées Mont- Perdu, pays de cirques et canyons” and is recognised as a world heritage site by UNESCO both for its natural and cultural landscape.

This recognition pays homage to the association between humanity and natural beauty, the adaptation of those who live there to the natural constraints of altitude and relief as well as the historically uninterrupted cross-frontier exchanges between the communities on the Spanish and French flanks of the mountains.

Discover these magical locations in our “Les balcons des cirques” guide, available from tourist offices.
