Tourism & Activities

The estate sits at the crossroads of five valleys.
Within half an hour’s drive, you can go from a UNESCO-listed glacial cirque to a high-altitude lake, from a Tour de France mountain pass to a family ski resort.
Here is where to start.

Winter holidays? Skiing… and so much more!

When snow covers the peaks, the Pyrenees offer a whole new way to experience the mountains.

From the chalets, you can reach several ski resorts and cross-country skiing areas: Cauterets, Luz Ardiden and the Val d’Azun.

Alpine skiing, of course, but also snowshoe walks, sledging, dog sledding or simply strolling in the snow: everyone can enjoy winter their own way, whether they ski or not.

And after a day in the fresh air, it’s time to unwind: hot tubs and wellness areas are also waiting for you nearby.

For children, beginners or those who want to improve, the ESI ski school offers lessons tailored to everyone.
Snow, mountains, activities or relaxation: the Pyrenees can be enjoyed to the full in winter too.

Summer: hiking… and so much more!

At the crossroads of several valleys and on the doorstep of the Pyrenees National Park, Chalets du Lac is an ideal base for discovering the great natural sites of the Hautes-Pyrénées.
Each valley has its own landscapes and atmosphere: Gavarnie and its great cirques, Cauterets, the Pont d’Espagne and the Lac de Gaube, or the Val d’Azun, with its lakes, mountain streams and forests.
Here, all it takes is a change of valley for a complete change of scenery.

A short family walk, a hike around a lake or a day in the mountains… the possibilities are endless. But summer in the Pyrenees is not just about hiking!

Cycling and mountain biking, rafting and white-water sports, treetop adventure courses, mountain coaster, animal encounters, exploring villages, swimming or simply a day by the pool facing the mountains: everyone can plan their holiday at their own pace.

And for a view from above, head to the Pic du Midi to discover one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Pyrenees.

Walking, cycling, swimming, exploring, having fun… or doing nothing at all: everyone can enjoy their own kind of holiday in the Pyrenees.
