Taking in a beautiful view, cooling off in the woodland or by a lake, admiring the rustic barns and hilltop villages, or simply having a nap at altitude – these are all reasons to put on your walking boots, grab your rucksack, grab an IGN map or a guidebook, and set off on an adventure along the hiking trails.

Treat yourself to a balcony overlooking Luz The Counques Hut

1 hour 30 minutes return Discover Ardiden Luz

Enjoy the tranquillity of this ski resort, an idyllic rural setting where, as the warmer weather arrives, herds of cows and sheep take the place of skiers. A wide path climbs gently towards the Counques plateau and its shepherd’s hut (private property). Along the way, take a moment to admire the sweeping view down over the village of Luz-Saint-Sauveur.
