The best of the Hautes-Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es<\/h1>\n\n

The 5 themes of your stay in the Hautes Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es<\/h2>\n\n

Tourism is the leading economic sector in the Hautes-Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es, thanks to the mountain range, which is a major natural, cultural and sporting asset. The Pyrenees National Park<\/strong> straddles the departments of Hautes-Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es and Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es-Atlantiques. It covers an area of 2,520 km2 and its heartland, mainly around the Vignemale massif, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its natural and cultural landscapes. <\/p>\n\n

Natural parks<\/p>

The Pyrenees also boast eleven regional nature parks<\/strong>(in France, Spain and Andorra) and twenty nature reserves. The Pyrenees are of great importance for the protection and preservation of flora and fauna, as well as for the conservation of cultural areas. The Pibeste-Aoulhet regional nature reserve alone includes the Pic du Midi de Bigorre observatory, the Pont d’Espagne, the B\u00e9tharram caves and the Gavarnie glacial cirque, a World Heritage site. All these sites are ideal for nature-related sports (hiking, climbing, caving, mountaineering, cycling, downhill and cross-country skiing – the list goes on!) <\/p><\/div>
