Just simply splendid… Family-friendly Yourtes de Gavarnie is among the spectacular scenery of Pyrénées National Park – and is opposite the Cirque de Gavarnie, part of the Pyrénées-Mont Perdu UNESCO World Heritage Site. A stay here will have you four kilometres from the village of Gèdre, and surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery dotted with churches, chapels, ski resorts and hiking and cycling trails suitable for all ages and abilities. A trail leading straight from the yurts passes a nearby cave and continues three kilometres via part of the St James's Way to the Plateau de Saugué for views over the Cirque de Gavarnie. There's an outdoor pool in Gèdre, as well as a fitness centre, sledging, tennis, ice skating and summer and winter climbing. Cyclists can hire bikes about 15 kilometres from Yourtes de Gavarnie to follow the Col du Tourmalet or other good tiptop routes around the Pyrenees. Amenities at Yourtes de Gavarnie include a heated washroom block with toilets and hot showers. Free wifi is also available to guests.

Local attractions

You can hike, sledge, ice skate and dip into the outdoor pool at Gèdre, or drive 20 minutes from the site for all sorts of outdoor adventures at Gavarnie, the famed ski resort with donkey trekking and horse riding in the summer months. More headily, have some hiking or skiing at Barèges (30 minutes' drive), also a top spot for canyoning and bungee jumping. One of the most famed walks – and bike rides – in the Pyrenees is also around half an hour away, around the spectacular glacial circus of the Cirque de Troumouse on the Spanish border. Or keep your outdoor adventures strictly on the strolling side of things with a meander around the comely old village of Luz-Saint-Sauveur or Luz, home of the Napoleon Bridge. For a family day out, take the kids to the Pyrénées Animal Park (aka Marmots Hill) 45 minutes' drive away, 14 hectares of viewsome mountains home to over 100 species.
