Camping Azun Nature

Camping Azun Nature is a 20-minute walk from the paragliding schools in Aucun, and 500 metres from fishing in the Gave d'Azun river. More fishing – and walking – is at the Barrage du Tech, 10 kilometres away, where you can land trout or take the signposted trail. It's a cinch from the site too to hike to many of the major sights of the Hautes-Pyrénées, such as the Cirque de Gavarnie, Pic du Midi and the Pont d'Espagne, or to access the 210 kilometres of mountain bike trails in the Pyrénées National Park. After fishing at the Barrage du Tech, strap on your skis or snowshoes in the dam's surrounding Val d'Azun, the biggest Nordic ski resort in the Hautes Pyrenees. Its two main ski areas are Col du Soulor and Col de Couraduque, 18 kilometres apart; it's also a top spot for sledging and for kids, who can ride the magic carpet or snow groomer at the Nordic Park children’s area, or hike along the two themed nature trails. Downhill skiing is at Cauterets, 25 kilometres away. And if you're here for animal adventures? Bears, marmots, deer and more are at the Pyrénées Animal Park 10 kilometres away, and many more cawing creatures at the Donjon des Aigles bird park, within 12.
