Our RENTertainers recommend
A journey to the stars: That's what it feels like to visit the observatory at the top of Pic du Midi. The 19th century observatory can be reached by cable car from Bagnères de Bigorre via La Mongie. From the top of the mountain, you’ll enjoy 360-degree views of the entire Pyrenees mountain range.
A 3,300 square dark-sky reserve has been created around the observatory. It restricts artificial light pollution and thus ensures you’ll get to see the stars. What’s more, you can also spend the night up there – the observatory accommodates up to 27 people.
