Around Pierrefitte Nestalas, wander as you please

Walks, hikes, skiing or hang-gliding... The privileged location of the Grand Hotel de France enables you to choose the resort of your choice. Here the mountain offers an immense range of experiences and natural landscapes to lovers of hiking, with protected flora and fauna.

• Hautacam is the ideal ski resort for families. With its Mountain Luge that can be used both summer and winter, your children will love whizzing down the snowy slopes or using go-karts when they are covered in grass... Fancy going on a family hike? Lake Isaby, well known to fishermen, can be reached in an hour and a half.
• Cauterets offers two ski areas. The Lys, accessible by ski-lift for all types of skiing, and the magic of the Pont d'Espagne for Nordic skiing or snowshoeing. In summer, let yourself be carried away by the beauty of the landscapes - Lake Gaube among others, Vignemale or the Cerisey waterfalls...
• Another must-visit is Couraduque in Val d'Azun, renowned for paragliding, 
• With the Pyrenees National Park extending to nearby valleys you can hunt a few "celebrities" such as Gavarnie and the Brèche de Roland, Mont Perdu, and the Pic du Midi de Bigorre, accessible by cable car from the resort of Tourmalet (la Mongie).

For cycling enthusiasts, there are the mythical climbs of Tourmalet, Aubisque, Soulor and Aspin. This is the kingdom of hill climbers! Allow us to pamper you so that you can conquer the famous hills of the Tour de France.

Upon returning from a hike, you can opt for the benefits of water at the Jardin des Bains in d 'Argelès-Gazost or at the Bains du Rocher in Cauterets.

During your stay there may be some "unmissables"...

• The Donjon des Aigles is home to one of the most prestigious collections of raptors: Kites, Vultures, Eagles, Sea Eagles, Falcons and Hawks flank the Parrots in summer. You'll love witnessing the work of the falconers at a summer show on the castle's esplanade.
• The Pyrenees Park is just a few minutes away for a beautiful visit to a wild but tamed world... Marmots, bears, wolves, ibex, otters and red pandas rub shoulders with farm animals to the little ones' delight...
• You'll probably cross Lourdes to get to us. Don't hesitate to dedicate half a day to visiting the Castle and its Pyrenean Museum, and experience the Shrine and the Grotto of Massabielle. A visit that leaves no one indifferent.
