Lacs de Cauterets Hiking Network

Cauterets is a gateway to a vast network of hiking trails leading to dozens of stunning high-altitude lakes, including Lac d'Estom, Lac du Cambasque, and the lakes of the Gaube valley. These well-maintained paths offer varied difficulties, from easy strolls around accessible lakes to demanding multi-hour treks. Each lake offers unique scenic beauty, crystal-clear waters, and opportunities for picnicking or simply enjoying the tranquility of the mountain environment. Trail maps are widely available, and some routes include mountain refuges for overnight stays.
