Tourism in Lourdes and the Pyrenees

Lourdes, a gem in the heart of the Pyrenees...

• Strolling through the narrow streets of the old town, visiting its castle in the historic neighbourhood, discovering the Pic du Jer – all while being moved by the special atmosphere that surrounds you, as you follow in the footsteps of Saint Bernadette, visiting places like the Cachot or the Moulin de Boly.

• For golf enthusiasts, the natural slope on the western edge of Lake Lourdes offers a magnificent site, in the middle of a coniferous forest, overlooking the clear water of the glacial lake. All golf services are provided (18-hole par 72 course of 5600m, a practice area with 18 covered bays, putting-green, golf carts, restaurant...)

• The location of Le Rive Droite & Spa is ideal for discovering the joys of winter sports. Downhill skiing in the resorts of Hautacam, Cauterets, or Luz-Saint-Sauveur, cross-country skiing on the slopes of Soulor or Couraduques, and snowshoeing in the entire mountain range.

• During your stay, you'll love exploring the Gaves Valley, where children can enjoy the Pyrenees Park and the Chlorophyl treetop adventure park, among other attractions.
