Rock climbing on the Falaise de Troubat (à 15km)
A must for climbing in France! This mythical cliff was the setting for the first climbing competition in France in 1986 - when more than 8000 people came to this wild and welcoming valley of the Barousse. Nestled at an altitude of 900m, there is a magnificent view of the valley and the castle of Bramevaque. An idyllic setting, overflowing with nature and full of tranquility. You will find a free paper guide at the Tourist Office of the Barousse Valley
Le Gouffre de Saoule (17km)
The Barousse valley has been sculpted by erosion and a natural arch has been carved by the water in a block of limestone. The Ourse de Ferrère plunges below in a cascade of water.
