Full speed ahead! Ride your mountain bike down to the Cirque du Lys

Chalet La Source Bike Park Cauterets MapEvery summer, the Cauterets ski area transforms into a mountain biking trailhead, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Cirque du Lys

You are at the Cauterets Bike Park, one of the most beautiful in France.

Taking the Lys gondola and then the Barbat chairlift, you reach the summit of the resort at 2400m. And then it's off for more than 45 minutes of descent, over a vertical drop of 1500 meters down to the village.

Several difficulty levels - beginner, blue, red - and well-maintained trails featuring a series of singletracks, rocky sections, gaps, step-ups and banked turns.

Run the trail to the summit of Petit Vignemale

Acumpanyat organizes guided day trail runs for experienced runners wishing to discover the technical trails of the Pyrenees, while enjoying the magnificent setting of the heart of the Park.  

Chalet La Source Cauterets Petit Vignemale from Lac de GaubeNear Cauterets, your guide will take you to the Petit Vignemale (altitude 3032 meters), on the Cauterets granite; a demanding route, both physically and technically, where running and fast walking will alternate.

The climb begins at Pont d'Espagne (1500 m altitude), where a warm-up run takes you to Lac de Gaube (1725 m) : beyond the magnificent lake, the Petit Vignemale comes into view. The ascent continues, becoming more technical, to the Oulettes de Gaube refuge at 2151 m . From this point, another 1000 meters of elevation gain await you to reach the summit of the Petit Vignemale!

Chalet La Source Cauterets Trail des BalconsAn outing for trained athletes, where the focus is not on time but on discovery, technical improvement and effort management. 

Excellent training for the Trail des Balcons de Cauterets , which takes place every year in July!
