The Central Pyrenees
Breathe in the wonderful fresh air here in the majestic Central Pyrenees on the border with Spain, in southern Haute-Garonne.
The Central Pyrenees - a huge breath of fresh air !
The magnificent mountain scenery forms the backdrop for an immense summer or winter adventure playground in Comminges and around Bagnères-de-Luchon, Saint-Béat and Aspet.
In winter, the ski areas of Luchon-Superbagnères, Peyragudes, Mourtis and Bourg d’Oueil welcome experienced skiers and beginners with open arms.
In summer, however, the mountains revert back to summer pasture, grazed by cattle and sheep under the watchful eye of herdsmen. The origins of pastoralism here are lost in the mists of time.
The Pyrenees are home to many wild animals : emblematic izards gambol from rock to rock, friendly marmots pop up beside the footpath, large birds of prey like griffon vultures, golden eagles and bearded vultures circle in the sky overhead. You won’t see any brown bears or capercaillies as these rare, elusive creatures stay hidden in the depths of the forests, but the very fact of their presence proves that the natural habitats of the wild, high mountains are in excellent health !
The Pyrenees are mountains of great character, unspoilt and with a unique personality… and they are here in Haute-Garonne !
Bagnères de Luchon and the "Grandes Dames" !
