Spring a season of renewal

A true duality 

While in the valley the more smoothly. spring is established little by little, at altitude the SNOW still covers the ground. You will have to show up cautious and patient before embarking on high mountain hikes.

A reconquest of space  

While, for safety reasons, some valleys are not accessible in the heart of winter, during the spring the disappearance of the snow makes it possible to find certain spaces. Little by little, the Ossoue valley, the Tech dam or Gloriettes lake become accessible again by car. In a second step it will again be possible to climb the cols and to switch from one valley to another, a little patience before passing the Col du Tourmalet! 

Enjoy the awakening of nature

Season of love for some, birth for others, spring is an undeniable awake period of nature in the mountains.

An explosion of colors

Whether they are trees, flowers or alternatively torrents of water, the Gavarnie Valleys are adorned with a thousand and one colours.  

The blossoming of flowers

A veritable explosion of pastel colours, the Gavarnie Valleys are full of tree species and flowers, each prettier than the next. There are even some that can't be found anywhere else and for which spring is the only time of the year when we can observe them in bloom. Among them the Pyrenean lily, Pyrenean Fritillary or the ramondia. The flowering period is quite short so do not hesitate to let your eyes wander off the path, you could have the good surprise to observe them.
