Pic du Midi de Bigorre Observatory

While primarily accessed from La Mongie (approx. 1h 30m drive from Saint-Lary to the cable car base), the Pic du Midi de Bigorre offers an unforgettable high-mountain experience and is a must-do regional attraction. Reaching an altitude of 2877m, it provides a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the Pyrenees. Visitors can explore the scientific observatory, a museum, and even spend a night under the stars. The ascent by cable car is an experience in itself. Open year-round (weather permitting), with varying seasonal hours. Adult return ticket prices are typically around 49-55 EUR.
