Cirque de Gavarnie

Length

9km

Duration

3h30min

Here is one of the most beautiful walks in France, within a spectacular circus sheltering the highest waterfall in France with more than 400 meters. This has quite simply earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List!

The trail is relatively easy, and traffic can be heavy in the summer.

Très belle randonnée. Je recommande cependant pour monter au pied de la cascade. Il faut être prudent car beaucoup d'éboulement.
