Cirque de Gavarnie  Brèche de Roland (Cirque de Gavarnie) << The Cirque de Gavarnie. Credit where credit is due...
An amphitheatre erected by nature this UNESCO heritage cirque which goes back to the ice-age flanked by a 423m high waterfall overlooked by most of the Pyrenean summits of over 3000m with the highest amongst them Mont Perdu !

Cirque de Troumouse (10km long, 1km high), with its fantastic variety of flowers, the marmots' paradise. >>

  Jean-Louis Lechêne The possibilities for hiking and horse riding are endless, then there’s the traditional walk up to the waterfall, where after 1500m you come up against a rock face which rises to more than  3000m. The Hourquette d'Alans, which is a mountain pass through which you can explore the Cirque d'Estaubé or the more intrepid among you may want to climb up through the natural gap of the Brèche de Roland, the Taillon glacier or take on the Ossoue valley, the Vignemale glacier with its summit at 3298m or even take a walk, on horseback if you like, around Gavarnie. Cirque de Troumouse (Gèdre)
   The wildlife is no less absent, the izard stays close to the marmot always wary of the treacherous vulture, the wallcreeper listens to listens out for the black woodpecker and, the bearded vulture keeps its eye on the herds moving from pasture to pasture.
   Ornithology and flora are for May-June time when the Petrocolis, Primevères, Myosotis make their appearance, with the Lady's slipper orchid making way for the Aquilegia, the Pyrenean lily, Saxifraga and tricolour pansies followed by the Gentiana, Iris, and Thistles finishing up with the Colchicum with its hint at the onset of Autumn.
