For your information, historically this was the arrival station for the cable car. It operated until the installation of the television and radio relay. After a storm, it's not uncommon for the relay to go into standby mode. TDF has a contract that runs from Monday to Friday. In case of a power outage, the weekend is reserved for reading or playing board games.

nice relaxing hike (down the mountain) not far from Lourdes

hike to do in dry weather, with a magnificent view of the Pic du Jer at the summit

Nice view. Very crowded.

Place with great views

The Jer peak peaks at 948 meters, overlooking the emblematic city of Lourdes. Also accessible by funicular, it offers a superb view of the city and its valley.

Magnificent view over the plain and the Gaves valley. On the other hand, it is not an old luxury hotel at the top, but the old cable car station. There is indeed a project to transform it into a shelter, but the funding is not forthcoming.

Originally called the "Villa Fournau" then later "Le Château de Soum", the building was built by the Lourdes architect Jean-Marie Lacrampe for the Fournau Family (former Lourdes hotel family) in the years 1900-1901 . It was then bought by Mrs. Suberville who in turn resold it to the City of Lourdes during the first years following the 2nd World War to set up a Vocational Training Center there. From 1974 to 2009, the District Court sat there. Today, the building houses associations with a musical, cultural and artistic vocation.
