Hiking

The Marcadau plateau is very easy to access from the Pont d'Espagne parking lot. First stage of the Marcadau valley, it is crossed by the Gave of the same name. This green setting is appreciated by hikers but also by fly fishermen. Climbing it offers a pleasant and easy immersion in the mountains.
