The Pont d'Espagne, beyond the construction, is an exceptional natural site where waterfalls follow one another. It is the starting point for many hikes and walks which lead to Lac de Gaube and to the Oulettes glacier. Others take you to the Marcadau valley or to the banks of Lake Ilhéou, where you can spend the night in a refuge. From Cauterets, the site which is located in the heart of the Pyrenees national park is accessible by transport (choose the bus rather than your car), by chairlift but also on foot via the GR10.

Pont d'Espagne is a stone bridge that spans the Gave de Marcadau at the point where it meets the Gave de Gaube, near one of its sources high in the French Pyrenees
