Arrens-Marsous

In the heart of the Val d'Azun, on the edge of the Pyrenees National Park, Arrens-Marsous is the ideal place to stay whatever the altitude you’re aiming at. This lively village is near the larger town of Argelès-Gazost, a thermal resort reputed for its exceptional climate, and Lourdes is also not far.

A sports enthusiast who’s keen on walking the mountain trails when he’s not busy at the farm, Baptiste will get out his maps to show you all the magnificent walks in the area. Leave the valley to discover Cauterets and its waterfalls, Hautacam and its attractions, Luz Saint-Sauveur, the extensive area of Barèges Grand Tourmalet. These places make for magical ski-ing or outdoor activities, in exceptional settings.

We’re on the historic Tour de France route – the Soulor and Aubisque passes will be known to the cyclists among you. The bravest might even attempt the legendary Tourmalet !
