Sports and leisure activities Arrens-Marsous

Experience the thrill of the DéVal'cable in the Val d'Azun valley, the largest Nordic area in the Hautes-Pyrénées. This giant zip-line offers a 300-meter descent and is open to people weighing over 25 kg. Offering a magnificent view of the mountains, this experience is guaranteed to provide unforgettable sensations! Even the little ones aren't left out, as children weighing less than 25 kg can enjoy a free mini-cable. The site also offers activities on electric scooters.

Accessible via the Col du Soulor from the Pyrénées-Atlantiques or Arrens-Marsous, or via the Col de Couraduque from Aucun, this Nordic area is the largest in the Pyrenees, offering no less than 100 km of trails! The area, with its varied landscapes of ridges and forests, offers a wide range of winter sports activities, with a particular focus on cross-country skiing (alternating or skating), snowshoeing and tobogganing. Whether at Col de Couraduque or Col du Soulor, you'll find all the necessary amenities, such as ticket offices, various equipment rental stores, restaurants, bars and even picnic facilities. An interesting option is the "Tour du Pays du Val d'Azun", a five-day gîte-to-gîte itinerary. The more curious can also discover the work of the groomers in the evenings, with the option of a meal and an overnight stay in a refuge. Nature lovers will be delighted by the presence of large birds of prey on the Soulor site, with 5 large silhouettes of birds of prey in flight (2.50 m to 3 m) close to the toboggan run and cross-country ski trail. An itinerary on passerines offers a fun way to learn how to recognize them. There's also a Nordic Park specially designed for youngsters. For those who don't feel comfortable skiing or snowboarding, ski schools with certified instructors are also available.

Starting from the Col du Soulor, two discovery trails follow one another to reveal the wonders of this magnificent mountain site, which is also a migratory passage for birds. You begin your exploration at an altitude of 1,474 meters on the sentier des Rapaces, which takes 45 minutes to complete. Featuring five informative panels, it guides you to the La Tachouère restaurant, showing you how to recognize the different species. Then the Passereaux trail (1h30) takes over, offering a more playful route through the forest.
