Unpack your suitcases or your backpack in an all-comfort cottage or tent and start your adventure in the Hautes-Pyrénées. This French destination is just as popular in summer as in winter thanks to its array of outdoor activities, appealing to holidaymakers who love a stay in the mountains.

With family or friends, on a camping pitch or in a mobile home, opt for a campsite with swimming pool between Lourdes and Cauterets! Take the opportunity to see Tarbes, the department’s capital with its National Stud, and Pau with its famous castle where Henri IV was born.

Another big benefit of a campsite in the Pyrenees: the flourishing nature and the highest peaks of the Pyrenees will be right on your doorstep. For example, you can visit Vignemale, the highest mountain on the French side of the massif, at the gateway to Spain, a real landmark for mountaineers. Hire a mountain bike or pull on your finest walking shoes and tackle these trails.

Did you know?

The current territory of the Hautes-Pyrénées, formerly called Bigorre, is closely linked to Caesar and his conquests. His people, the Bigorrians, were subjugated by Lieutenant Crasus. The present village of Cieutat is said to be the former capital of Bigorre, “Bigarra”, and many Roman roads can still be seen today. You can head for Capvern or follow the route connecting Bagnères-de-Bigorre to Vallon du Serris.

What can you do while camping in the Hautes-Pyrénées?

A must-see in the region, this glacial cirque is now a natural park included on the UNESCO World Heritage List and recognised for its grandiose landscapes and exceptional biodiversity. Just as wild and wonderful, the Néouvielle massif boasts an incredible natural environment formed of numerous lakes, rivers and pine forests.

Or keen for culture and city visits?

Besides the bountiful natural environment, the Hautes-Pyrénées also offers a variety of cultural and urban attractions. Pilgrims come from all over the world to visit Lourdes, especially the Masabielle grotto and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, sites of miracles, prayers and spirituality.

Then, take a break in Arreau, one of the region’s most charming villages. The town hall-covered market building and the Maison des Lys are both worth a visit. They bear witness to historical heritage that dates back to the Middle Ages and are still well-preserved today.

And don’t forget to visit Tarbes, the capital of the Hautes-Pyrénées! This lovely city welcomes you with a host of delicious restaurants, parks – including the Massey Garden – and plenty of historic monuments. Take a break for lunch and sample the local gastronomy:Tarbais beans, Noir de Bigorre pork, Garbure or Madiran - a full-bodied and robust wine. Sample these delicious local products right at the source at the lively markets where local producers sell their wares.There is so much to see during your camping holiday in the Hautes-Pyrénées. 

Finally, don’t leave the Hautes-Pyrénées without admiring the breathtaking vista formed by the massif from the Pic du Midi de Bigorre, 2,876 metres above sea level.
