Lanuza Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

In summer a festival is held in this reservoir, next to the town of Lanuza that gives it its name, on a stage that seems to float over the reservoir.

From the south, the climb runs quite flat through the valley, in the course of which you pass two reservoirs, in which, depending on the water level, the ruins of the villages that had to be relocated can still be seen. In fact, there is more to see here than at the much better known Reschensee in the Alps.

Pourtalet Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

29 km of climbing from Laruns but acceptable gradients for cycling. The pass, in addition to a superb view on the French side, is a place of Spanish commerce with shops and restaurants.
