    • The unforgettable experience of the Artouste train and outdoor activities in the mountains

      Nestled in the heart of the Pyrenees, the adventure begins with the legendary Artouste train, one of the highest in Europe. This little marvel winds its way along the mountainside, offering breathtaking panoramas of the peaks. On board, every turn is a living postcard: marmots, wildflowers, and mountain landscapes punctuate the journey to Lake Artouste, a true high-altitude gem.

      But the experience doesn't stop there! A wide range of outdoor activities are available to you to extend the magic of the mountains.

      Thrill seekers will want to take on the unique twisting zip line, which zigzags between the trees and flies over the slopes near Lake Fabrèges. For a more down-to-earth but equally fun descent, try mountain karting or mountain biking, with suitable routes, between mountain trails and fast descents.

      Looking for a refreshing and relaxing break? Head to Lac de Fabrèges, where canoes, pedal boats, and paddleboards await you as you glide across the clear waters surrounded by fir trees and peaks. Whether you're looking to let off steam, explore, or simply enjoy the scenery, it's the perfect place to reconnect with nature.

      Between thrills and peaceful moments, the world of Artouste promises a complete experience in the heart of nature, to be enjoyed with friends or family, for memories engraved forever.



      Please note that from May 8th to May 29th, the train operates only on public holidays and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It will be open daily from May 29th.
