Discover the heritage of the Hautes-Pyrénées during your ski vacation in La Mongie
Looking for something different to discover the natural and cultural heritage of the Hautes-Pyrénées? Forget your skis for a few hours and set off on an adventure! Don’t miss a cable-car ride up to the Pic du Midi, where you can spend the night stargazing and visiting the Pic du Midi museum. Or explore the Campan valley, with its historic sites such as the Château de Mauvezin and the Abbey de l’Escaladieu, and the spa towns of Capvern-les-Bains and Bagnères-de-Bigorre. The local terroir is bursting with flavors: cheeses, cured meats, foie gras and beekeeping products. For an artisanal touch, visit the Atelier des Mounaques in Campan. The residence of La Mongie opens the doors to the secrets of the Hautes-Pyrénées!
