General presentation
Bagnères-de-Luchon et Pyrénées centrales
Thermalism, high peaks, waterfalls, valleys, skis and hikes close to Spain.
The discovery of Bagnères-de-Luchon and Pyrénées centrales revolves around Luchon, Hospice de France and Pyrénées centrales. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, natural spaces and riverscapes, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is necessary to plan a fairly sustained day. Also to be anticipated: mountain roads and variable weather conditions. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
City
Luchon
Luchon has the profile of a spa town set at the foot of the Pyrenees, with its avenues, villas, care facilities and mountains that close the horizon. Between lively centre, hiking departures and access to the surrounding valleys, it is as suitable for a walking stay as it is for a gentle stop after the road.
Historic house
Hospice de France
The French Hospice marks a more unexpected stage in its direct relationship to the Pyrenean landscape, with facades opening to the reliefs. The place calls for a careful walk around the buildings and neighbouring paths to understand its function and its implantation.
Mountain resort
Superbagnères
Superbagnères offers a visual climb to very clear panoramas, where the station sits above the city. You have to accept the time of the slope to feel the progression of the views. The views of the massif take on their full meaning as the clouds shift.
