Aure Valley, Néouvielle lakes and reservoirs
► Tour runs from June to october
Dynamic protected reserve
at the heart of
an exceptional valley
We are on our way to a trip that will take us into the Aure Valley. The beating heart of this territory is situated in Saint-Lary-Soulan, the dynamic resort with preserved authentic architecture that is the most important village of the valley. The Aure Valley provides access to Spain, and is also close to all the famous Aragonese Canyons, as well as the Néouvielle Reserve, a protected jewel of the National Park of the Pyrenees.
From our departure in Lourdes our route will take us towards Bagnères de Bigorre, the renowned spa town, where we will then cross the Campan Valley. Heading towards the famous Aspin Pass, we’ll follow in the footsteps of the Tour de France. At the foot of the pass, the small resort of Payolle offers a frame to accents from the Vosges Region (north east of France) with its forests of fir trees and its beautiful lake that unveils panoramic view of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre. The descent from the Aspin pass will take us to Arreau, a small town situated at the junction of the Nestes Valleys, and entry way to an area recently recognized for obtaining the label “Region of Art and History”. Saint-Lary-Soulan is the quintessential image of the Aure Valley: an exceptional thermal and mountain resort and a dynamic village that was able to preserve the historical stone, wood and slate architecture. Heading up from the bottom of the valley towards Spain, we will soon reach a true natural sanctuary. The Natural Reserve of Néouvielle is a jewel of flora and fauna boasting several ponds and lakes, giving you the sensation of being at the edge of the Earth.
