Where to observe the stars in the Gavarnie Valleys?
AT THE HEART OF THE INTERNATIONAL STARRY SKY RESERVEDid you know that the Pic du Midi and all the villages of the Gavarnie Valleys are labeled International Starry Sky Reserve ? This label rewards an exceptional quality of night sky. Take advantage of these perfect conditions for stargazing during your holidays in the Pyrenees!
The Park of Stars
On the heights of Argelès-Gazost, the Star Park in Hautacam is a privileged place to observe the sky. Furniture that encourages daydreaming is freely accessible and facilitates observation of the starry sky. There we find a phosphorescent card to locate the main constellations, a night bath to comfortably contemplate the celestial vault as well as a mini-agora which accommodates astronomical animations in summer.
at the top of the Pic du Midi
Let yourself be seduced by an exceptional evening at the Pic du Midi with the Summit Nights. After a dinner with Pyrenean flavors and a screening in the planetarium, get ready for a long astronomical observation session before returning to your room, starry-eyed.
Everywhere else
in the Valleys of GavarnieGet a little higher up, where the air is pure and the atmosphere more stable. Here, there are plenty of easily accessible spots: the Soulor and Couraduque passes, the Pont d'Espagne are accessible all year round, while you can climb the Troumouse cirque, the Saugué plateau or even the Tourmalet pass at the beautiful season. The most difficult thing will be to choose !
