    • The Blue Lake is located at an altitude of 1,977m and is 52 hectares in size and 135m deep. It is the deepest lake in the Pyrenees. It is located in the commune of Beaucens, which is right next to Bagnères-de-Bigorre. It is of course its beautiful blue color that gives it its name, but also its green setting.

      To get there, you need to walk for 2.5 hours and be in good physical condition. Come well equipped and bring water and snacks. The easiest hike is from Le Chiroulet at 1087m in the Lesponne massif. You cross the bridge, then the winding path that climbs to the plateau where the lake is located.

    Magnificent view once you arrive at the lake; on the other hand, hiking is difficult when you don't have too much cardio or good physical condition. The green lake just before is just as magnificent although smaller.

    Start at the hotel, up through the woods, meadows, alpine meadows, snow (late July), up the rugged snaking path and finally the splendour of Lac Bleu and beyond at 1968m. This walk is not for the...

    It is not the easiest hike, but once you have done some cloud crashing, bundu bashing, mountain climbing, sun seeking, you reach the top above the clouds and will be awarded with the most amazing...
