Skiing in winter and hiking in summer
The Pyrenees
A day trip to the Pyrenees is a getaway that is really recommended, and can be as sporty as desired. A leisurely drive by car over the scenic cols already offers plenty of fun, and once at the top, a delicious lunch can be enjoyed overlooking the snow-capped peaks. For those seeking more activity, there are numerous hiking trails to explore, with a challenging climb always an option.
Tips include the Col du Port and Lac Bethmale, both destinations that offer beautiful rides. The Col du Port, with its winding roads and spectacular views, is ideal for a scenic drive. Lac Bethmale offers an idyllic spot for a picnic or a leisurely stroll along the lake. In addition, the Col de la Core, with its panoramic views, and the Vallée d'Orlu, where activities such as rock climbing and whitewater rafting are also recommended. Along the way, local specialities in the mountain villages can be sampled, such as cassoulet and fresh cheese, contributing to an unforgettable experience in the Pyrenees.
