Lake Gaube is one of the wonders of the GR10. This lake highlights in the landscape the Vignemale massif which is located at the bottom of the valley 600 meters higher. Its ease of access makes it a privileged site for day walkers, and its beauty attracts crowds, but don't deprive yourself of stopping for a moment. The spectacle is magnificent both upstream and downstream of the lake. The Hôtellerie du lac de Gaube will also be an opportunity for a little refreshment or a particularly nice snack if you are arriving from the Haute Route Pyrénéenne (HRP).

View of the Pont d'Espagne waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

The Pont d'Espagne, beyond the construction, is an exceptional natural site where waterfalls follow one another. It is the starting point for many hikes and walks which lead to Lac de Gaube and to the Oulettes glacier. Others take you to the Marcadau valley or to the banks of Lake Ilhéou, where you can spend the night in a refuge. From Cauterets, the site which is located in the heart of the Pyrenees national park is accessible by transport (choose the bus rather than your car), by chairlift but also on foot via the GR10.
