Great place. I saw a lot of comments that everything is in French only, well, that's not true, apart from some spectacles, everything is available in French, English and Spanish. However, they could provide some subtitles for the French only parts. I spent there 1 full day, it's enough to see the most important parts and walk through the whole object. If you want to really have full experience and see everything thoroughly, 2 days are recommended. Great place for kids, adults and anyone who loves space exploration. My favorite spectacle was the imax space images. Overall, highly recommended.

There are lots of shows which are really informative and educational. We loved the Mars Rover one, but the only thing was everything was explained in French so we had to use live translation. The planetarium shows has audio guides in english. Other than above this is a great place to visit for both kids and adults who love space.

If you’re in Toulouse and even remotely curious about space, the Cité de l’Espace is a must-visit — especially with kids. I went with my daughter, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had together. The IMAX Deep sky show was fantastic. Gazing at the stars in the Planetarium made us feel like we were travelling through the galaxy. The highlight is the Lune Explorer where you get to experience being an astronaut on a mission to Moon. You can literally feel the 2G force!

It's a must see if you are in the area. I would recommend setting a few hours aside if you visit - especially if you want to check out some of the shows on offer. Planetarium and take off simulations are great - the latter does have quite a bit of a wait time however. Translation headphones are available for planetarium - English and Spanish. There's also a restaurant and food trucks, the only thing missing was a coffee truck for some pick me up. Overall spent around 5h and haven't seen everything.

Love it! Very good place to visit. Full of astronomy, stars, planets, and fun things. Tons of activities to do and see. You would need the whole full day for this. Highly recommended.

Nice space oriented museum, from the first rocket into space, to the future. Pitty that there isn't any Dutch, as a neighbour country this would have been nice. (Translating everything for my kids was exhausting 😁) A lot of interactive stuff, friendly staff, children are more than welcome to experiment and try things. But again, only in french.. A lot to discover, you'll need at least a full day if you want to see everything.

On a warm summer day, we visited the Cité de l’Espace in Toulouse with our children—and what an experience it was! The interactive space museum offers an incredible variety of things to see and do, both indoors and outdoors. Our kids were thrilled to try out the simulators (with almost no waiting lines), where they felt like real space shuttle pilots, tractor drivers, and even captains of a fishing boat. Outside, you can walk among life-size spacecraft and even step inside some of them—something truly unique in Europe. One of the highlights was the panoramic theater, showing an engaging film about the galaxy and our solar system. It's just a pity that much of the content was only in French. For a museum that celebrates European cooperation in space, we had hoped for a bit more multilingual accessibility 😉. We had a great time and, honestly, ran out of time after four hours of exploring. Whether it’s sunny or rainy, this place is absolutely worth a visit!

It is a nice and clean church, both the exterior and interior are beautiful, it was a pleasure to visit this church during a day trip to Toulouse and a walk around the city center. When we entered the church, young girls and boys were singing religious songs and a good spiritual atmosphere was created. The church was relatively quiet and had the necessary peace. I personally felt very good and I hope you will also have a good experience visiting this church.

The basilica is one of the largest Romanesque-style churches in Europe and a major landmark of Toulouse. Construction began around 1080 and continued through the 13th century. The building reflects a pure Romanesque design with later Gothic additions, combining red brick with pale stone. Its most iconic feature is the 64-meter octagonal bell tower, a defining element of the city’s skyline.

This is a truly mind blowing cathedral. It is the largest remaining Romanesque church in the world. Its soaring barrel voltage ceiling gives a sense of space and majesty. There are wonderful statues and some incredible fresco paintings which have survived hundreds of years. I must see when in this city.

Beautiful architecture. We were lucky that there was a wedding ceremony when we entered so we got to hear the organ play live which was amazing. The entrance is free. Highly recommend a visit.

A more grandiose cathedral, visible from many parts of the city because of the distinctive tower. The access was limited when we visited because there was a service on.

Mast seen Landmark of Christian medieval architecture. Free entrance. Take your time to visit and discover all parts of basilica.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Toulouse. It is free to enter for all.

This is a wonderful and endment Theatre. It has a modern foyer and has been beautifully painted inside. I was fortunate enough to see the Capitole Oper ballet company in a tribute to Maurice Ravel. They were accompanied by the opera Orchestra and it was a wonderful show. Then to be sea of the theater means that the sound is wonderful. I was in the back of a side loge quite high, but if I still could see this stage without an issue. I got an H euro ticket by lining up one hour prior to the performance, which is when returns are re-sold.

Really amazing experience to watch ballet

The performances are AMAZING, staff are lovely and super helpful. The super high up seats at Paradise have indeed reduced visibility but it's acceptable (I didn't even realized they were at first), at the front-er seats the quality is perfect. I was very impressed with the mise en scène of Nabucco by Verdi and Norma by Bellini. This theater's interpretation of Orphée aux Enfers also has a nice touch of humour and a unique variation in the final part of Act 1. The ballet performances are nice. I'd keep updating in the future cause you just have to come back here! (I painted a scene in their Norma 2025 out of my impression)

Stunning theatre. Today's performance of Rusalka was epic. The building has excellent acoustics and if all the performances are as good as this, I'd be there every week if I lived here.

There is no word to explain my feeling. Everything good w their staff. When you enter you welcome with the smile faces all around you. Ils sont gentils! Thanks to all!

Great experience! Very emotional show after years of not going to the Opera. The Ballet team of the Capitole are great and the different directors have added their true spirit to Chopin and Mozart. All the staff from top to bottom showed amazing manners and etiquette. We felt great at all times! Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻

Beautiful opera house. World class productions.

The garden is beautiful. Lovely places to sit and different areas to walk near water, fountains, under shade and in the open. Always tonnes of people working on improvements! Lovely vibe!!!!!

Beautiful gardens. Sometimes quite busy but fun to watch everyone posing on the bridge. Other times very quiet and tranquil.

A wonderful gem in Toulouse. The Japanese garden is done wonderfully and has a little Japanese house which explains the design of the garden. There’s a little bridge with fish in the pond. There’s also a raked zen garden. A tranquil place.

The garden itself is really peaceful and well-kept, with a nice layout that makes it easy to wander around and enjoy the scenery. It didn’t feel too crowded despite being a weekend. Overall, a really pleasant spot to relax for a bit if you’re in the area.

This is a traditional Japanese garden located within Jardin Compans-Caffarelli. Modeled after the gardens of Kyoto, it was created in 1990 and named in honor of Pierre Baudis, the city’s mayor at the time. The garden faithfully recreates key elements of Japanese landscaping, including a red arched bridge, bonsai trees, a sand garden, bamboo groves, stone lanterns, and a koi pond. It offers a serene, exotic retreat within the urban landscape, inviting visitors to enjoy a moment of peace and harmony in the heart of the city.

really enjoyed this little garden only small area is actually Japanese. There is a small pond with Koi fish and turtle which is interesting to see. there's a Japanese building on the on the pond which provides shade and some minimal seating. Be careful as some paths are made out of stone and uneven so better in mind if you're going with elderly however most of them are flat.

A really nice garden on the west side of Toulouse near the Canal du Midi. The Japanese gardens are very nice.

The Convent of the Jacobins in Toulouse is a beautiful and peaceful place. The interior is striking, with its elegant brick columns and calm atmosphere. Although the exterior is currently under renovation, it’s still well worth a visit. Built in the 13th century by the Dominican Order, it holds great historical and spiritual significance, especially as the resting place of Saint Thomas Aquinas.

This is an incredibly beautiful building. It’s worth taking a couple of hours just to enjoy the building aside from anything on display. The exhibitions are incredible and the acoustic for music amazing. The gardens are just so gorgeous. Make sure you allow enough time to visit.

Along with the cathedral, this is a must see in Toulouse. It is five euros for adults to enter, but it is absolutely worth it. With the restoration work that is going on the exterior. The entrance is via the refractory. In here, several of the lunettes have been removed from the walls and are being restored on the ground. The church chapter house and other areas are absolutely fascinating. There are many audiovisual guides which explain some of the amazing architecture and history. It would be very easy to spend an hour to two hours, marveling at this beautiful building.

The Convent of the Jacobins in Toulouse is simply breathtaking .The brick walls feel warm and grounded, while inside, the soaring palm-shaped vault seems to lift your spirit upward. Being there makes me feel both humbled and inspired — a quiet reminder of beauty, history, and serenity all in one space.

Its beautiful, and interesting to visit inside .. The ticket is reduced if you have a student ID then its 3€

The couvent amazed me with its main church: a row of giant columns supports the vault and divides the space into two parts. Otherwise, the monastery has a traditional structure with an internal garden with arcades.

The convent is one of the most significant examples of Southern French Gothic architecture and the historical heart of the Jacobins (Dominican Order), founded in Toulouse in the early 13th century. Construction began in 1229 and was completed in the 14th century. The convent played a central role in scholarly, preaching, and missionary activities across medieval Europe. It houses the relics of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Dominican theologian and philosopher, whose remains were transferred here in the 14th century. The name "Jacobins" comes from the common French nickname for the Dominicans during that time. The church’s interior is renowned for its palm tree–shaped vaulted ceiling, where ribbed vaults fan out from slender columns. ※ Included in the Toulouse Pass Tourisme.

Loved it. Excellent. Would come back every weekend. Plenty of rides for a 1 year old. The dinosaurs aren’t that scary. Would recommend.

A small animal park with lots of different playoptions for small children. My grand son (4) enjoyed it for >3 hours

Good for kids. It's a bit too easy/boring for teenagers but not too bad. I would say until 13yo it's good. There is a good mix of nature exploration (farm/dinosaurs) and rides but don't expect anything close to the quality you would get in a jet coaster specialist.

Great for little kids, Never any lineups for rides, entire park is shaded (except parking) my kids love it !

Great weather today. Several attractions were closed due to reopening this month but regardless we were able to have fun and visit the entire park. Perfect time to take the kids to the park as there were barely anyone there and no queues. Very charming park in the middle of the countryside, very welcoming, top team, great entertainment, the toilets were clean + In the toilets there is a space for changing babies, the attractions are perfect for children and adults alike ! We will surely come back ! Thank you !

15€ entry :) and you can do whatever you want till 7 pm. Awesome attractions for kids and adults.

Great theme park good family day out we ran out of time in the end so you will need a full day here or even a second visit. The rides are great for children between the ages of 4 and 10 there is no much for children over this age.

No one's a clue what was going on. Need I say anything else. Couldn't book anything and it was all all the place. If you booked in advance may be better. But we didn't so....

Great zip wire fun to be had here along with a climbing course in the trees and kayaking

Excellent value for money and great fun.

Cool 😁👍

(Translated by Google) Great discovery, an afternoon filled with good humor, a super smiling and friendly duo to welcome us and guide us. A shaded park, endless zip lines, courses of several levels but ultimately with a little agility they are all doable from 11 to 44 years old as far as we are concerned 3h40 of fun !!!! At the top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 (Original) Belle découverte, une après midi rempli de bonne humeur, un binôme super souriant et sympathique pour nous accueillir et nous guider. Un parc ombragé, des tiroliennes à n'en plus finir, des parcours des plusieurs niveaux mais finalement avec un peu d'agilité ils sont tous faisable de 11 à 44 ans en ce qui nous concerne 3h40 de régalade !!!! Au top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

(Translated by Google) For my part, it was a very good experience; the courses are well-balanced. The zip line course over the Ariège River is fantastic.

Le parcours tyrolienne au dessus de l’Ariège est top. Le personnel est génial, ouvert aux questions techniques. Attention il faut prévoir le paiement par espèces.

(Translated by Google) Incredible, 😍 a little haven of greenery, calm, kindness, and warmth. It feels good to settle down in a pretty, hidden spot by the river.

Thank you (Original) Incroyable, 😍 petit écrin de verdure, de calme, de bienveillance et gentillesse. Il fait du bien de se poser dans un joli endroit caché en bord de rivière.

(Translated by Google) There is still an original country market here Chickens, variously rare breeds such as the Black Gasgone with dark blue eggs, fly 2 m and look for their own food Also ducks, rabbits, goats, sheep as well as vegetables, fruits directly from the producer or, better, small producer who supplements his income with this trade This is worth a visit. Of course the big market around is always a pleasure.

There's scaffolding up with works going on (it looks like wheelchair access works). So on arrival, we weren't sure if it was open, but it is !! We followed signs in the town centre for the castle-Parking, only to find ourselves going round in a circle 3 times !!! Luckily it's Easter Mon and not very busy, so we found a spot for the camper in the middle of the two main town roads. €12.50 each entry. Great castle, lots of steps once at the top. There's a long stone ramp up/down, or a lift - with several floors gor the museum. The castle itself has 'displays ' on throughout the day, blacksmith, stone mason, weapons, etc. Unfortunately very little information in English (but, of course, totally acceptable - we're in France !!!). It's a fair bit of walking - first up the the castle, and then once uo there. The towers are fabulous, but cares needed as people are going to pass up/down on spiral staircases. Loads to see in the museum - excellent value. Gift shop, toilets (no cafe). Hero exhibition upstairs is very interesting.

Great castle. Now . It is a steep old climb and your legs will be sore but it is well worth it. Going up the tower is a bit scary but well worth the view. There is so much to do here you would need a whole day to get it all done.

Perfect for stepping into a previous time in history and experiencing what life might have been like back when the castle was in its prime. It’s in amazing condition with different stalls and people explaining weapons, blacksmithing, stonework, and other interesting ideas. The demonstrations are all in French but you can ask questions in English if you want to further expand your knowledge. There’s a museum connected as well but we didn’t have time to explore that section. Give yourself ample time if you want to explore both the museum and the castle itself. A great place to bring kids or even as an adult if you enjoy history and medieval times. 🏰

Amazing day! Wish we had longer! We spent four hours with kids 4 and 5. They loved it! The guide at the armor and weapons stop was amazing!! We spent over an hour there. He even spoke pretty good English. Gift shop had good toys for the kids too.

This castle is definitely geared towards kids with weapons displays and artificial castle décor throughout. There isn’t a ton of high level historic information. The views are nice but there are a lot of steps / steep pathways. I guess I recommend coming in a cooler month than June 😎

Very well maintained medieval castle on top of a hill. It is quite a walk to get to the entrance and then an evening longer climb up cobblestones to the castle itself after the museum. The views however are breath taking. It was not as busy ai had feared it might be but it was baking hot so the climb to the top was tougher. 2 kids (13 & 9) and I managed the climb all the way to the top tower and the views were well worth the effort. This fitted in really well as a day trip along with the underground river at Labouiche.

Beautiful castle, I felt the live actors dressed in clothing from the time period made it a nice and immersive experience. The museum was filled with info and the staff was helpful, and spoke multiple languages (English, Spanish, and French of course).

This is a fantastic day out - an amazing array of artefacts and workshops available all day (it would be great if these could also be delivered in another language for those of us who don't speak French - either Spanish or English would be great, as there were lots of other Spanish visitors there also). The girl on the ticket desk (should have asked her name, but didn't - she was wearing a beautiful necklace made by her sister) was incredibly helpful and welcoming. This is definitely a museum that we will visit again, and we very much hope that the forge will be restored to working order in the future.

This is a great place to visit. The museum is interesting and you can go back to school and write your name in script from 1904 with pens and ink based on that time. Then onto the forge to see how the metal was worked and the noise it produced. Finally a walk though time following a death and a marriage and a birth during the 20th century. Very well managed and run by the staff. There is a bistro there where we had a large meal! Salad, cassoulet and blueberry tart. We were part of a group so it is probably best to check on activities mentioned to see if you need to book.

Lovely setup of old medieval village life. The different occupations and their tools well displayed and discussed.

Very friendly staff. Nice location easy to get to by the local bus. Good size car park. The 'shows' seemed good but my partner didn't speak French so found it hard to follow what the guides were saying, and no alternative e.g headphones to translate. Easy to walk around and nice lay out. More for a family with young children rather than adults. Restaurant on site busy and overpriced so we ended up leaving as they were too busy and weren't able to tell us what was gluten free.

Good place to learn about the skills and mastery of the Ariège citizens...

Site with a lot of potential. Great collection of objects from many interesting careers from the past. The presentation about blacksmithing was great. The martinet forge was fascinating. However we had the unfortunate idea of visiting the day after their fair, and many of the staff were completely exhausted and clearly didn't want to be there. Maybe they should consider closing the day after the fair. The old fashioned vehicles for the kids were cool but too small for my 4 year old. The playground is nice to have but too bad that they didn't make it fit with the theme of the park.

The craft museum is well worth a visit. The actual forge is still in used, and used for demonstrations. But try to go on a day when there's an event happening, particularly if you have children. I went at Easter and they had activities for children of all ages: cars to ride; an Easter egg hunt; and food stalls.

A real tourist trap, Very disappointing experience. We came here expecting an afternoon of activities for the kids and left after 2h. There were 3 activities that took about 5 minutes each, for the rest nothing interactive and just looking at unmotivated people who only speak french. For 90€ for 5 people, this is a real tourist trap (and yes, we have done similar parks in the past where the experience was way better) In short: Best to stay away

Recreation of a "typical" Village Gaulois an hour's drive from Toulouse. It's open from 14h00 (check days). The huts have been carefully recreated since the foundation of the project 1993. The team run excellent workshops and present their "metiers". Wood working, pottery, wool.

Just bring the kids for a unique experience - Asterix may be around

Very decent place

Lots of things to discover. Plan sufficient time.

Excellent

Correct

The cave is a geological oddity with rivulets and roads cutting through it. You can walk around and see the surrounding area. To visit the museum(the cave), I recommend you make a reservation online in advance. Also, the ticket includes the other museums in the village. You can come and have a picnic. There are free parking spaces and one small restaurant next to the cave that you can get a drink/food before or after visit the cave.

Very nice guided tour for about an hour through the caves all in French all about the excavations and findings of prehistoric bones and artifacts found when digging the road passing through the cave. No pictures allowed during the guided tour. Well worth visiting. Set times for visits.

One of the most iconic caves of South Western France. Huge, very well conserved, easy of access and open all year round. The entrance fee of 11€ for a guided tour is worth for discovering in depth archeological sites within the cave. I'd advise traveling across the cave by car - jaw dropping.

It was an overwhelming experience to drive through this tunnel. Stop and take photos at both ends. Worth the extra drive!

A huge cave going right through the hillside. Big enough for a road to use it as a tunnel alongside the river. There is a small car park at the end and then you can walk into the cave and towards the museum. The surrounding countryside is very pretty with lots of hiking available. Alas we didn’t have time so I can’t comment on the museum or the surroundings in detail. But the cave is cool!

Very cool cave with a small road running through the biggest part next to a stream. A snack stand is nearby. If you pay, there’s a tour of the smaller parts of the cave with good interesting information on prehistoric life in the region.

They Only do the tour in French and not much to see there because it has been mined since Neolithic man has been there.

(Translated by Google) Coming for a short hike found on Visorando, we had the good idea of ​​visiting the cathedral before going for a walk. It is a magnificent monument and from the moment we enter we are taken by the atmosphere which leads to meditation. What is striking is this little cloister which is wonderful in its small size and so charming. I will have to come back to it because all the details of the murals have to be rediscovered. We were lucky enough to be alone during this visit which gave us plenty of time to appreciate the serenity of this place.

(Translated by Google) We spent Saint John's Eve here. Starting at 6:00 PM, tables were set up in the square selling savory and sweet tarts in various flavors (€3) and beers (€2.50), among other drinks. A folk group performed, dancing and singing in the Occitan tradition. Around 10:20 PM, the church bells rang, and the bonfire lighting ceremony began! When the ceremony ended, some very discreet firecrackers were set off; our dog didn't even notice them (we came here to escape the firecrackers in Catalonia), since they couldn't be heard much from the apartments in Terres de France. (Original) Hemos pasado la noche de San Juan aquí. A partir de las 18:00 en la plaza se montan mesas y se venden tartaletas saladas y dulces de diferentes sabores (3€) y cervezas (2,50€) además de otras bebidas.

Cuando termina la ceremonia lanzan algunos petardos muy discretos, nuestra perra ni los ha notado (vinimos escapando de los petardos en Cataluña) ya que desde los apartamentos de Terres de France, no se escucha mucho.

La société Horizon Verticale est devenue notre référence pour les activités d’aventure en plein air créant même des vocations chez certains jeunes 🌳🧗🪨🏞️ De la part de toute l’équipe d’animation : un grand merci à Franck, Thomas, Vanessa, François, Gabin et Kevin !!

(Translated by Google) Superb via ferrata adventure with Kevin as a patient and attentive guide. Superb landscapes. With 3 teenagers, full of sensations and memories. Climbing the cliff and ziplining 200m above the ground are a must! (Original) Superbe aventure via ferrata avec Kevin en accompagnateur patient et attentif. De superbes paysages. Avec 3 ados, plein de sensations et de souvenirs. L'ascension de la falaise et la tyrolienne à 200m du sol sont à faire!

The projection map and video explaining each of the different periods of history from paleo through to medieval is a real highlight. Videos are available in French, Spanish & English along with all other exhibit descriptions. Having previously visited what was a very outdated museum in the Mairie many years ago, it was great to see artefacts presented in a much more updated environment.

Excellent little local museum with very informative exhibits in French, English and Spanish.

Great little museum, opening times aren't quite right on Google I think, it might be a good idea to call first

Lovely place. Very interesting and reasonably priced

Great roman ruin still had bits of marble clinging to the walls. Very easy to imagine its original form. Small sheet of paper with site info. No artifacts. No museum.

Very interesting Roman site with some well preserved Roman Ruins. Very reasonably priced.

Interesting site that gives a real insight into the life of a Roman villa

(Translated by Google) To go to the circus, it’s quiet. On the other hand, if you want to go to the Etang de la Hilette, hold on tight because it’s only an uphill climb with a few sections of simple via ferrata (no equipment needed). But it's worth the detour, it was magnificent. Negative point, we met a bear there! So be careful... Around 30 minutes to get to the circus. In total, 9 hours round trip to go to the pond (including breaks) Good luck (Original) Pour aller au cirque, c’est tranquille. En revanche si vous voulez allez a l’étang de la Hilette accrochez vous car ce n’est que de la montée avec quelques sections de via ferrata simple (pas besoin d’équipement). Mais ça vaut le détour, c’était magnifique. Point negatif, nous y avons rencontré un ours ! Faites donc attention … Environ 30 min pour arriver au cirque. Au total, 9h aller retour pour aller à l’etang (en comptant les pauses) Bonne chance

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful waterfalls at the bottom of the cirque. Path in the forest and beautiful summer pastures. (Original) Très belles cascades au fond du cirque. Chemin en forêt et belles estives.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent cirque, a very accessible hike, lots of space so even if you are not alone there you can very easily find a quiet spot to admire the landscape (Original) Cirque magnifique, une randonnée très accessible, beaucoup de place donc même si on est pas seul sur place on peut très facilement se trouver un coin tranquille pour admirer le paysage

(Translated by Google) Magnificent place. 1h30 round trip from the car park but be careful even if the route is not long the wonderful landscape there is a little difference in altitude and root rocks all along the route. I saw people in flip flops or large splints difficulty going down (Original) Magnifique lieu.1h30 aller retour à partir du parking mais attention meme si le parcours est pas long le paysage formidable il y a un peu de dénivelé et des roches racines tout le long du parcours.j ai vu des personnes en tong ou attelle en grande difficulté pour redescendre

(Translated by Google) First part of an easy hike, pleasant to go out with children. The path is very pretty. Possibility of continuing for experienced hikers to reach the Hilette pond. I recommend (Original) Première partie de randonnée facile, agréable avec des enfants pour sortir. Le chemin est très jolie. Possibilité de continuer pour des randonneurs expérimentés afin d'arriver à l'étang de la Hilette. Je recommande

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful cirque with lots of waterfalls (Original) Très beau cirque avec pleins de cascade

(Translated by Google) Very nice walk. An oasis of peace. Lots of beautiful nature and beautiful streams and waterfalls (there must be enough water. If it is hot and dry for a long time, the little ones will dry up) (Original) Heel erg mooie wandeling. Een oase van rust. Veel prachtige natuur en schitterende beekjes en watervallen (moet er wel voldoende water zijn. Als het lang heet en droog is, zullen de kleintjes opdrogen)

Great experience. The snowmobile ride with the lunch was incredible, the best food we've had in Catalonia so far. A must do for people that love the outdoors.

A little bit disorganized, and maybe there could be a debate about the way things are run but so could there be about many others. That said, overall, I think they try to offer a service that is not widely available, and the experience to ride a snow mobile is quite amazing. To name a few things: the sensation of individual motorized transport over snow and to see the beautiful landscape and the sanctuary by that takes you back in time. We think it is worth doing once in your life.

We've done snowmobile with this agency and we had a very nice guide. A bit expensive though.

Great experience. Javier was a very friendly guide. The stop at the Refugio was an experience. Next time we will do the tour with dinner.

Very friendly staff, beginner friendly guides. Fully recommend them for snow mobile and dog sled activities. They are easily located once you reach Beret near parking and they speak English.

Family friendly

(Translated by Google) What a trip! I took a snowmobile route and the experience was much better than I expected. In addition to the machines being very cool to drive, I was impressed by how they take you into a very different landscape than what you normally see when you are on the slopes. Last but not least, the team is super friendly. Highly recommended. (Original) ¡Menudo viaje! Hice una ruta con motos de nieve y la experiencia fue mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. Además de que las máquinas son muy chulas de manejar, me impresionó cómo te adentran en un paisaje muy diferente al que normalmente ves cuando estás en las pistas. Por último, pero no menos importante, el equipo es super amable. Muy recomendable.

This is a nice ski resort. In fact, the largest ski resort in Spain. Easily accessible by car. The whole area is very nice. 2h away by car from Toulouse and 3.5h by car from Barcelona. Plenty of slopes. Only 1 green slope so not quite good for beginners. Children area isn’t bad. Food and drinks on the slope are good and not expensive. Very large underground parking is available right under the gondola lift. 15 euro for the whole day. Daily ski pass cost 70 euro. (Winter season 2024/25) 160km slopes in total. Friendly staff all around.

What an incredible place to ski, amazing slopes with every level slopes from beginners to advanced and expert skiers. The Baqueira Beret slope system is not only in perfect conditions, but also very well supervised and taken care of. There are 4 main mountains to ski, 90 slopes and there is enough to not do one slope twice. They have a lot of artificial snow makers that give you a great ski experience even days away from the last snow fall. The views are great, ski pass prices are around 70€ per day and come with an insurance in case of accident. Rescue patrols are always on the lookout. There are numerous number of ski and Snowboard schools if you’d like to take private of group classes, prices starting from 75/h. If you are looking to rent, Intersports or La Rider are great places to get good quality equipment. Amazing ski location! Don’t forget to go to the Aprés Ski at the Moet & Chandon bar (in Beret) or at the 1500 bar (at the base of Baqueira)

Great Resort in general! Just sometimes have to drive to other parkings higher up because of the amount of people, and in the morning hours you can get stuck in traffic. The resort is huge so you will always find some slopes with few people even when you would think that it'll be crowded

Baquiera Beret is like Europe's hidden gem of a ski resort. Compared to their more pricey and popular resorts further north, Baquiera is shockingly very good in both absolute and relative terms. Even in relatively late season, we experienced snowfall literally every day we were there, pretty much guaranteeing amazing snow and powder experience - this compounded by the fact that the resort is relatively free of large crowds (especially in neighbouring mountains Beret and Bonaigua) and you get some of the most pristine and pleasant pistes in the world. Infrastructure is excellent with a combination of cable cars and chairlifts that allow you to easily explore the extensive and diverse of pistes of Baquiera; not to mention the accessibility of restaurants, bars and cafes spread out across the resort should you need a quick refreshment or a leisurely meal overlooking the stunning landscape. The resort boasts a variety of pistes for all skill levels and stamina, offering scenic long runs and technical but still very enjoyable runs in the blacks. I love that many of the trails effortlessly converge and diverge from each other so that you can have the option to move from challenging to easier pistes effortlessly making meeting up with friends regardless of skill level a relatively easy affair. While English is not widely used and minimally understood (except for the more central services of the resort), we rarely faced problems communicating our needs and people were patient and generally happy to help you. Even a little knowledge in Spanish (or even better, Catalan) will go a long way in getting you around enough to enjoy your time there. Will it still retain its charm in the coming years as more people discover this understated resort? It's hard to say, but it's definitely become one of my favourites!

Nice experience. Not so crowded for the big holiday (6-9 Dec) in Spain. The slopes are wide, well kept and the lifts are nice, for could be better and then, on the downside, very little life in town, there’s only one “club” Tiffany’s and it was a pain to find good restaurants that weren’t absolutely crowded.

Great resort. Quieter than most and plenty for all standards of skier.

Very nice ski center, quite big and with some very runs. We spent 5 sunny days skiing in late February. Most of the lifts are modern and fast. The ski center was quite crowded but the queues were moving fast. Lots of parking available, we found the ones up in Beret and Orri the most convenient. What was annoying were the traffic to get to the ski center and to leave from it. Especially during Sunday it took us almost 2 hours to return to our hotel in Vielha which was just 15 km away! All in all, it is highly recommended.

These people will steal your money and have no idea what customer service means. I made a reservation for gear rental online. When I arrived at 8:30 am to pick up, turns out the place is not located at the address posted in Google. Also, the hours are incorrect. They open at 9am. When I tried to call keep sending me to voice mail saying they were close. I'm a tourist and I was part of a group and we had an agenda. Since I couldn't get ahold of these people I had to rent gear somewhere else to be able to move on with my vacation trip. As soon as I had wifi access. I respectfully sent an email asking to cancel my reservation and get my money back because their contact information was all wrong and as a tourist I have limited communication. They literally say that it was my fault because they call me and that they will not give me my money. I explained my phone is from the US and didn't have full service. That they could have emailed me but thy never tried to contact me until I emailed them. So I respectfully ask to them to understand that is a big deal when you work in a tourist spot and your contact information is all wrong. Because this is how tourist find you. They basically ignore me and just charge my credit card. That's stealing. Not to mention some of the local businesses I asked for information said that it wasn't the first time people come and ask looking for these guys. So it have happened before.

Very nice personnel, nice skies.

The only good part of Skicenter was definitely the best teacher: Pau!! He’s very experienced and knowledgeable, and he has a whole range of ways to explain things if you don’t get something. Unfortunately, my experience with Skicenter didn’t really meet my expectations. Moltes gràcies Pau!

(Translated by Google) Spectacular, I have no other word. We have taught with Facundo, the best teacher you can choose. He has taught us everything. We started without knowing anything and we ended the third day skiing in parallel. The enjoyment is spectacular, the views are impressive and the experience is wonderful, we will definitely repeat it. Facu has guided us through the slopes, recommended others and made the experience something superior, we leave very happy. And as for the rental, very good, the equipment is new and we took the ticket office with them too, next to the 1500 and a good price. I recommend it 100% Thanks Facu (Original) Espectacular, no tengo otra palabra. Hemos dado clase con Facundo, el mejor profesor que puedas elegir. Nos ha enseñado de todo. Empezamos sin saber nada y hemos acabado el tercer día esquiando en paralelo. El disfrute es espectacular, las vistas impresionantes y la experiencia una maravilla, vamos a repetir seguro. Facu nos ha guiado por las pistas, nos ha recomendado otras y ha hecho de la experiencia algo superior, nos vamos muy contentos. Y en cuanto al alquiler muy bien, los equipos están nuevos y cogimos la taquilla con ellos también, al lado del 1500 y buen precio. Lo recomiendo 100% Gracias Facu

Good service and classes are good!

(Translated by Google) We went skiing with my girls and took Facu and Miguel, our instructors. They're both wonderful. The girls had a great time, and we went back the next time we went. I'm already looking forward to skiing next season!! 💕 (Original) Fuimos a esquiar con mis niñas y cogimos a los monitores Facu y Miguel. Son encantadores ambos. Las niñas se lo pasaron en grande y repetimos la siguiente vez que fuimos. Ya deseando esquiar la temporada q viene!! 💕

(Translated by Google) 1000% recommended! I took a class with Professor Pau and it was an unbeatable experience! Besides being a great guy, he's a fantastic technique teacher. I learned so much from him, and I'm sure I'll be back to this school. (Original) 1000% recomendable! Hice la clase con profesor Pau y experiencia inmejorable! A parte de que es un tío 10, gran profesor de técnica. Aprendí mucho con el, estoy seguro que volveré a esta escuela

Absolutely worth visiting. Very interesting place. Very good guide.

Absolutely loved our tour and the cave. Of the caves we have visited, this one is the least “touristy”. It’s very tightly protected- in fact, no photos are allowed because that slows down the group and would allow the CO2 and heat to build up in the cave. We also had a very small group, about 12, which was lovely for an intimate setting. I appreciate that they had an English transcription of the audio for me to borrow!

I tried to visit these caves but unfortunately no photos may be taken inside the cave, with or without flash. I enquired with the staff as to the reason and was advised it's because of their tightly scheduled trips. They therefore, cannot afford to have people taking pictures. The bathroom was neat and the outside is well groomed, nice for a picnic.

Striking structures inside the cave . Guided tour only . Our guide was bilingual and quite good . Kids would love it . A bit pricey but your admission helps preserve the cave . Photos not allowed in cave . Would not be good for those who have difficulty walking on uneven surfaces or stairs.

Excellent .. magical for children too … 70 stairs and need care on slippery ground.

Cave has been very well preserved. With very unique crystal formations. Small groups are allowed at specific intervals. Very interesting for all ages. Visit takes around 1 hour.

The caves are beautiful and worth the visit. The website indicates that the caves are accessible to everyone including handicapped people. Although the entrance to the cave is via a tunnel that would technically allow wheelchairs or strollers, be aware that it is not possible to visit it because it is necessary to go up some stairs and people are not allowed to break off from the guided group and wait. The tour lasts about one hour and covers a lot of the history of the cave, the person who discovered it, and the geology of the place. It’s just a pity that no photos are allowed and it is not possible to make small stops to appreciate the little details.

Highly recommended for families or traveling solo. Very close from Bagneres de Luchon. The park itself is beautiful with some amazing views to the mountains.

We went with our car club to this lovely park. It is well laid out with a circuit route that you can follow easily. The animals are well treated, some of them are rescued and seem happy there. The deer and mountain goats are free to wander and are very at ease with people. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would recommend a visit.

We had fun visiting this park. It is also very clean compared to other animal park. Friendly staff, they're always around when you have question about the animals. Also the view is amazing!!! Highly recommended 👌

Value for money - too expensive! This park should cost 10€ max for adult. It is a nice walk in the nature with the specific animals. 2/5 mainly because of the price. For 10€ I would give it 4/5, not more.

I came specifically to see the bears and the pine marten. At the start of the park, the animals looked well and had good spaces. When I saw the bears, I was very sad..they had quite a small space to their size, and they seemed distressed. They were pacing back and forth constantly, it just seemed they were unhappy. Maybe I am wrong, and they were doing their morning exercises! It was the same with the pine marten, I only saw one and again it was going back and forth with no purpose, didn't appear relaxed and comfortable at all. The other animals were in pairs/groups and appeared well and content in their spaces.

Lovely animal park in the middle of the forest, almost every kind of animal had young ones which gives me the feeling all in all they are in good shape. Very natural feel to it. Mind you that most of the park is shaded in the morning so bring warm clothes, in September it was already chilly.

We loved this park, loads of animals which are running "freely" around you so you can get very close to them. Nicely managed and very relaxing environment. There is a little caffee stand with WC near the end of the circle. Be prepared for a few steep walks during the visit tho.

The view of the Pyrenees is simply breathtaking and unforgettable. This destination is definitely worth a visit. You can easily access it by cable car, and the food is good. I visited in the last week of February; while the snowfall tends to lessen in the afternoon, it's still pleasantly cold enough for skiing.

Great place for skiing, a lot space for kids to play in the snow. You have at least 2 ways to get there by car and ski lift.

Very good slopes for beginners nice weather (most of the times)great for first time skiers

Beautiful panoramic views if not cloudy, nice to visit and walk a bit upward for better views, or even start a hike. Also great to climb and descent with the road bike enjoying the magnificent mountain peaks.

Brilliant ski station especially for beginners and pros. Good selection of cafes and slopes. Had an amazing time.

Good place to skiing but not for begginers

Brilliant views of the Pyrenees.

A tiny lake is surrounded by an asphalt walking path suitable for bicycles, about 2.7 km long. The water in the lake is very cold and looks clean and full of water plants. All around we found fast food places, ice creams, boats for rent and inflatables in the water for children, on the shore of the lake in front of the attractions, a lot of noise... make your decision where to sit. Behind the boat rental business are convenient and relatively clean public toilets. There is plenty of parking around Lake -the parking spaces are marked "private parking" even those on the main road. Many park there without considering the signage.

Beautiful lake at Loudenville surrounded by mountains. The view is breathtaking. I have been there multiple times and it never disappoints. There is a thermal bath nearby to relax if you are tired of trekking.

Such a great place to visit ! The landscape its amazing ! The lake and mountains combine together to make a magic place ! Don’t hesitate to visit it !

An extremely beautiful place with easy access.

Must visit! Beautifull clean lake with great views.

Nice lake, good natural resource.

Best place to be with your family in Pyrenees

Loved the day we spent here! It was well organized, also with the shuttle that can bring you up (perfect!) (it's not free).

Gorgeous and worth the terrifying drive and parking fee. Count on 5-10€ in parking to hike up and see the 2nd and 3rd lakes, option for the less mobile to take a little train. The views are amazing! Straight out of a postcard 😍

Super ❤️

Just Gorgeous

Amazing

(Translated by Google) Exceptional landscapes await you on foot or by bike. Take the Lakes Route and explore magnificent trails between the Oredon, Aubert, and Aumar lakes. Access is also possible by car, and many hiking trails start from the Artigusse parking lot. Family members can park directly at Lake Oredon. The hike to Lake Aubert is accessible. A shuttle bus can also take you there, as access by car is closed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For the more athletic, many peaks await you, offering priceless views of the valley. The Neouvielle peak is accessible at 3,000 meters, but the hike remains challenging, especially towards the end. Allow 6 hours without a break. (Original) Des paysages exceptionnels vous attendent à pied ou à vélo engagez vous sur la route des lacs et sillonnez sur des sentiers magnifiques entre les lacs d'Oredon, d'Aubert et d'Aumar. L'accès est aussi possible en voiture et de nombreux départs de randonnées se font depuis le parking de l'Artigusse. En famille vous pouvez vous garer directement au lac d'Oredon. La randonnée ver le lac d'Aubert est accessible. Une navette peut aussi vous y emmener car l'accès en voiture est fermée de 9h à 18h. Pour les plus sportifs de nombreux sommets s'offrent à vous avec une vue inestimable sur la vallée. Le pic de Neouvielle est un 3000 m accessible mais la randonnée reste difficile surtout sur la fin. Comptez 6 heures sans pause.

(Translated by Google) A must-do hike! Crossing the Oredon, Aumar, Aubert, and Laquettes lakes. Quite a steep climb and descent. Magnificent scenery. It's a shame you have to pay for parking (prices vary depending on the length of time you spend there). (Original) Randonnée incontournable ! Traversée des lacs d'Oredon, Aumar, Aubert et des laquettes. Montée et descente assez rudes. Paysages magnifiques. Dommage qu'il faille payer le parking (prix selon la durée de stationnement).

A mountain peak with observatory, restaurant & amazing views... if the sky is clear! When we visited there were a few interesting exhibits, with a photo history of the peak and a sun-tracking telescope where one could see flares. We booked the first cable car of the day so found it nice and quiet. Cost is hard to justify but if you like views and are in the area it's the place to be.

Although very “ touristic” I deeply recommend it. Be careful: it is an experience that takes at least 3-4 hours , including the line to the cable car up and down. At the pic , a cafe that is very expensive, so bring your own coffee and food… Also the area that the guests can walk through is very limited to 2 angles, you cannot look at views 360 degrees around which was very disappointing …

we first became aware of this through a television programme and decided that we had to do it. we wanted to book and overnight visit as we felt that this would give us the best experience. so in August 2023 we booked for July 2025, yes the wait is that long. when the time finally arrived needless to say we were very excited. We arrived at the cable car and were transported to the observatory, we were greeted and had to wait for someone who could speak some English as although we can speak fluent Spanish our French is not so good. we were given directions to our room and then told that we needed to be at a certain point for the welcome meeting. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable. we were not expecting luxury as we are aware that this is a working observatory, but the bed was super comfortable and the views from the windows we breathtaking. we arrived at the welcoming meeting to discover that all of the planned activities would only be conducted in French, we asked if there was any information available for non French speakers only to be told no. Whilst the staff did everything that they could to help and make our stay the best that they could, they struggled to communicate with us. This basically meant that 98% of the planned activities were simply not accessible to us. We missed the planned tour of the facilities as this was only in French so there was not point in us attending this. Dinner was really very good and the food and drink were exceptional. The sunset was spectacular followed by a short film, which did have an English translation, however the following planetarium activity was again only available in French. The night time stars were lovely and although we did get to look through a large telescope the explanations and information meant nothing to us as once again it was only in French. We did have a great time, but for the cost that we paid, to have 98% of the activities simply not available to us it was disappointing. This is a service that attracts and international clientele, to assume that everyone who attends will be able to speak fluent French is completely unrealistic. Not to have written information or audio guides available is simply lazy or arrogant. So my warning would be that yes the experience was amazing it was somewhat ruined by the fact that we were completely excluded from the majority of the planned experiences that were available. if you do not speak fluent French then maybe you should reconsider booking an overnight stay.

We skipped all the touristic attractions like the cafe and the cable car and came here by foot. Starting from Col du Tourmalet you'll have to cover 14,4 km (round-trip) and 740 m of altitude to reach the mountaintop. Most of the path is a wide road, pretty easy to walk on. However, the topmost part is more difficult, narrow, stony and slippery. I would recommend the path only to trained people with sure-footedness and mountain-experience and without vertigo. In any case, don't forget to bring good shoes, sunscreen, food and a sufficient(!!) amount of water. It is a beautiful hike amidst rocks, sheep, lakes, ruins, mountain-flowers and lizzards. You also have a chance to glimpse griffon vultures at close range. The summit itself is beautiful and scenic, looking down on the mountain ranges and snowy tops of the Pyrenees.

Beautiful experience on a sunny day. A petty that we can’t see anymore eternal snow with the global warming. A must to do.

Appalling tourist trap. If you can hike up, sure, that's the way to see this mountain, but paying €160 to be packed like sardines into the telecabine, then restricted to a terrace without access to the mountain itself, was lousy. The restaurant was over €50 each (for a burger), maybe it was nice but we didn't splash. The bistro had coffee & cakes. The planetarium show at €6 each, was just dire - a 20 minute reenactment of early days at the observatory, followed by the most basic explanation of Hydrogen forming stars, without any use of astronomical images.

Great experience - and a must-go in the Pyrenees. The cable car ride is a great adventure in itself - and the view from the platform is awesome! The bistro is a particularly great experience - very nice service and a large selection.

Great resort, great facilities, lots of snow and good bars. We went on a cloudy day so in my opinion I couldn't distinguish the inclination of slopes. Many blue slopes which were truly red. As a mid-level skier, I had a really bad time because I didn't expect such difficult blue slopes.

Easy access to ski resort, free parking and buses take you to the slops, a lovely landscape. It was our first time here and will come back next year.

OUTSTANDING SKIING SPOT! We had the experience of our lives! Visited Piau for the holidays with my in-laws and I'm so happy we did! The instructor was very helpful, encouraging and friendly. I had never skied before and he made it possible in just one short lesson! Everyone had a great time! Even my in-laws dog! The staff also manages a variety of languages which makes it the perfect spot for foreign families like us.

See my other review for this place. It's a medium size ski resort, some night life but not on the level of the alps of course.

Visited for the first time last week. Great resort , with some great off piste skiing . Will come back next year

The wonder of the nature... Good for family hiking.

For the Pyrenees I thought this was a good resort. Parking close to the slopes. So good places for lunch right on the slopes. No lift queues. Reasonably priced. Due to its altitude it was one of the few places that had snow in the Pyrenees this year.
