Hidden treasures
from one valley to another

Don’t miss a trip through the valleys of the Haut Garonne Pyrenees on your getaway for two. You’ll be seduced by a fascinating historical heritage. We began our journey in the valley of the Garonne, a central river that winds its way through magnificent scenery. This region is a veritable jewel case of unspoilt nature, with sparkling lakes, dense forests and majestic peaks flirting with 3,000 metres.
We then hired mountain bikes so that we could take advantage of the secret paths and get a good dose of adrenalin! And guess what? It was my husband who had trouble keeping up! There’s no shortage of outdoor activities here. Whether you’re into hiking, mountain biking or fishing, every trip is a new opportunity to commune with nature. Whether in winter or summer, you’re sure not to get bored and you’ll make some wonderful memories as a couple.

Authentic and
authentic and welcoming

Thecharm of the Pyrenees also lies in its authentic villages, nestling between the foothills and the valley of Saint-Béat-Lez. From Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges to Valcabrère, each village tells its own unique story through its picturesque streets and monuments. We were won over by the warm atmosphere of the Frontignes, where the welcome from the locals is as comforting as a roaring fire on a starry night.

Continuing our journey, we discovered Bear Country, a land where man and nature live in harmony. Further on, towards the Val d’Aran, Luchon, nicknamed the Queen of the Pyrenees, offered us a grandiose spectacle with the Lys valley and the Enfer waterfall. Each village we passed was a promise of authenticity and simplicity, a welcome return to our roots.

Gentle roaming :
a completely free experience

For those of us who like to take our time, gentle roaming is an ideal option. On foot, along the Grande Randonnée (GR) trails, or by bike, thanks to the Transgarona cycle path, every step is an invitation to discover. We have often taken the Lipy on-demand shuttles and the Lio buses to explore the surrounding area without restraint. The forthcoming train promises to add a new dimension to this gentle mobility, making it even easier to get around.

With our rucksacks snugly fitted, we also opted for bivouacs in the great outdoors. Nothing beats a starlit night, lulled by the rustle of leaves and the song of rivers. If you prefer more comfort, the inns and gîtes dotted along your route will welcome you with warmth and friendliness.

Summits to reach
and memories to share

One of our fondest memories is the climb up to Lac d’Oô . This magical place, surrounded by imposing peaks, offers an unforgettable spectacle. We shared an impromptu picnic, admiring the reflection of the mountains in the crystal-clear water.
We ended our stay in the Larbourst valley, a must for nature lovers. Its wild, unspoilt landscapes are an ode to tranquillity and contemplation. When we left the Pyrenees, part of us stayed on, seduced by such beauty and simplicity.

This roadtrip through the Pyrenees is much more than just a journey, it’s an experience to be lived and shared. Put on your trainers and lose yourself in these exceptional landscapes. Every valley, every village, every path is a new story to tell. So, are you ready to write your own? This region offers the ideal setting for unforgettable adventures for lovers. Enjoy your trip!
