Tipis Indiens

As befits a mountain spot such as this, there are also several snowy and icy activities to get involved in over in Gèdre, such as a toboggan luge for swooshing down and an ice rink for speeding (or staggering) round. Climbers are well catered to round here too, with routes that are scaleable during any season. Take the kids to Gavarnie a short drive away for donkey rides, or hack around on horseback for a bit; there’s also a free bus service that runs between Gèdre, Gavarnie, the historic village of Luz-Saint-Sauveur and the local ski resort in season, for yet more winter sports in the region. Several UNESCO World Heritage Sites are around too: talk to the friendly team at Tipis Indiens about booking excursions to Barrage des Gloriettes, Héas, Roland's Breach and the Cirque de Troumouse, all within an easy 19 kilometres. Other must-sees and dos that come highly recommended by the Tipis team include visits to the Gavarnie Falls and the spa town of Cauterets; bungee jumping, canyoning, hiking and skiing in the village of Barèges; and trips out to see furry friends over at Pyrénées Animal Park, all within 40 kilometres of the site.
