    • Camping des Gaves in Laruns – Discover the charms of the Ossau Valley

      Come and discover the charms of the Ossau Valley!
      In the heart of the Béarn Pyrenees, nestled between mountains, forests, and rivers, Camping des Gaves in Laruns welcomes you to an exceptional natural setting. Nestled among the trees, between the Gave d'Ossau river and the charming village of Laruns, this 4-star campsite is the ideal place for a relaxing and rejuvenating nature holiday.

      Accommodation to suit all tastes

      Camping des Gaves offers a wide choice of comfortable accommodations, designed to offer you relaxation and authenticity:

      - The Shepherd's Cabins, true little cozy nests for 2 people, perfect for a romantic getaway.

      - The Fisherman's Cabins, located as close as possible to the stream, are ideal for 4 people looking for peace and quiet and nature.

      - The cabins on stilts, with their wooden ambiance and beautiful terrace offering breathtaking mountain views, for 5 people.

      The chalets are nestled in a green and bucolic park, perfect for families of up to 6 or 7 people.

      And finally, modern mobile homes, available with 2 or 3 bedrooms, combining comfort and practicality.

      Each accommodation has been designed so that you can fully enjoy the natural setting of the Ossau Valley, to the rhythm of the sound of the river and the wind in the trees.

      A paradise for nature lovers

      Staying at Camping des Gaves in Laruns is like embarking on a true journey to the heart of the Béarn Pyrenees. Hiking enthusiasts will marvel at the wild beauty of the Pyrenees National Park, its valleys, high-altitude lakes, and majestic peaks.

      Fishing enthusiasts can try their luck catching brown trout in the clear streams and torrents. Adventurers, meanwhile, can try whitewater sports : rafting, canyoning, or kayaking on the Gave d'Ossau river.

      In winter, the magic continues: snowshoeing, skiing, walks in the snow … the valley transforms into a picture-perfect scene. Each season, the Ossau Valley offers a wealth of unforgettable emotions and experiences.

      Béarn Pyrénées, a land of traditions and flavors

      After a day of adventures, there's nothing better than a good meal in one of Laruns ' restaurants. Around a steaming bowl of garbure, a Béarn specialty, let yourself be tempted by the cheeses from our shepherds, accompanied by a local wine. Here, gastronomy is experienced as an art of living, an invitation to share and savor.

      Seated at a good table, with your gaze turned towards the mountains, you will feel the grandeur of the landscapes, the warmth of the Béarn Pyrénées and the simple pleasure of an authentic moment.

      Camping des Gaves – Nature, comfort and authenticity

      Camping des Gaves in Laruns is much more than a place to stay: it is a human and natural experience, an ideal starting point for discovering the Ossau Valley, the Pyrenees National Park, and the treasures of Béarn.

      Whether you are a couple, a family or a group of friends, you will leave with your head full of memories, a light heart and the desire to return to breathe the pure air of our mountains.

      Camping des Gaves in Laruns: between nature, mountains and conviviality, in the heart of the Béarn Pyrenees.

    Great location, too bad the welcome was mediocre... Poor bedding, outdated bathrooms, a mid-season with few people, allowing us to park two cars in front of the mobile home since there were a lot of us, but the manager completely refused, and in a disrespectful tone. Where do the 4 stars come from?!
