FAQs: Rock Climbing in Hautes Pyrenees

What should I know about Rock Climbing Hautes Pyrenees?

Located in the southwest of France is the department of Hautes-Pyrenees, consisting of a collection of distinct areas.

Why should I choose Hautes Pyrenees for my Rock Climbing adventure?

Famed French Pyrenees

Bursting with breathtaking landscapes, the French Pyrenees is packed full of incredible natural highlights. The rush of rivers, picturesque peaks dominating the wilderness, and whispers of legends swirling through the valleys. Fields of orchids and bellflowers give colour to the mountains, while eagles and vultures swoop over the heads of marmots, boars, and foxes that roam the picturesque Pyrenees.
Wealth of climbs
The French Pyrenees not only offers outstanding beauty but a wide variety of climbs that can be adapted for all levels of ability, experience and desire. Rock climb on towering walls, or friendly granite rocks. Scale vertical slopes on volcanic stones, or join a beginners course to rock climbing in the Vallee de la Mongie. Come on a challenging multi-pitch rock climb or a thrilling summit on Pic du Midi d’Ossau, a dramatic and singular peak rising from the valley.
Traditional rural France
Resting quietly across the foothills of the Pyrenees and among the valleys, a collection of communities calls the French mountains home. In Hautes-Pyrenees, long-estblished ways of life have been developed and maintained. Spreading from its customs and traditions. Stone-built houses, narrow cobbled streets, livestock roaming the grounds. Here you’ll climb while cloaked in the culture of rural French tradition.

Max

Had a very good time with Cecilia at the Cap de Long. It was foggy and supposed to rain the first day, so Cecilia was kind enough to reschedule and pointed out a superb climbing spot to us on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees. Along our multi-pitch route Cecilia showed us how to set up a stand, secure ourselves, rope management and how to belay from the top.

Peder

Pau was an all around excellent guide. Would highly recommend climbing with him.
