    Tips

    June 8, 2025

    At this point most of the mountain bike routes that run through the vallée des gaves start. There is a large parking lot so it is a good starting point for a nice mountain bike route. There are 5 signposted routes starting here, both for beginners and more technical routes, via this link you can see all the signposted routes in the area: bikeandpy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Carte-VTT-Pyrenees-Argeles-ValdAzun-20.pdf

      There is also ample parking here, although it can be busy on hot days when the pool is open.
