At the edge of the Pyrenees National Park, the Pont d’Espagne (1 496 m) is a protected corner of the countryside where you can discover the most beautiful waterfalls that can be seen in Hautes-Pyrénées.It gives access to two major valleys that are worth exploring on foot: the Marcadau valley, where the high prairies give way to a wonderful landscape of pleasant lakes and peaks, and the Gaube valley, with a lake that can be reached by chair lift. The top end of the valley leading to the lake is closed off by the north face of the Vignemale, the culminating point of the mountain range on the border with Spain.
