Pont d'Espagne
A sight for sore eyes!
The Pont d'Espagne, 7km from Cauterets, is a former pastoral route that enabled France to trade with Spain. As a gateway to the Pyrenees National Park, the bridge is now a start point for rambling through forests, rivers, waterfalls, lakes and breath-taking scenery.
You can reach the spell-binding Gaube Lake by taking the ski lift (open early June to late September) or walking the GR10 trail (1.5 hr walk). When you get to the top, gaze at the impressive Vignemale, the highest peak in the French Pyrenees (altitude of 3298m).
How to get there
Cauterets is in south-west Occitania in the Hautes-Pyrénées department. Cauterets is an hour's drive from Gavarnie.
