The mythical cirque de Gavarnie has been listed by UNESCO since 1997 for its natural and cultural values, which, alongside the lesser-known but equally impressive and beautiful Estaubé and Troumouse, constitutes remarkable natural heritage, undoubtedly the best examples in the Pyrenees.
Cirque de Gavarnie, cradle of Pyreneism, revered by romantics, rises to 3,248 m (at the Pic du Marboré), its waterfall (the highest in Europe) is the most famous. The entirety formed by the Brèche de Roland (struck, according to legend, with the sword of Charlemagne’s nephew, Roland of Roncevaux) still surprises and evokes admiration. The more easterly Estaubé and Troumouse are wilder, more picturesque, but just as grand. These walls stretch over more than 10 kilometers and hide many lakes: a true delight for anyone seeking unspoiled nature, maintained by humans. Simply grand…
