Walk around Cauterets

Start at the forecourt of Cauterets Town Hall.

(S/E) Take Avenue du Général Leclerc, which runs up to the right of the building. Follow it to the end. Cross Rue du Pont Neuf, then continue straight ahead into the car park. On the left is the building of the former Cauterets railway station. Turn right and head for the junction with Route de Pierrefitte.

(1) Cross at the pedestrian crossing and immediately turn left onto the tarmac road leading to the Lys cable car. Take the steps and continue to the top of the hill, which leads to the cemetery.

(2) Turn right onto Avenue du Docteur Domer, which runs past the thermal baths and leads to a three-way junction. Keep left onto Rue du Maréchal Joffre for 50 metres.

(3) Turn right onto Rue du Général Castelnau and walk past the church to head down into the old town. Continue to the end and cross the bridge over the Gave de Cauterets to reach the Esplanade des Œufs, opposite the cinema.

(4) Walk along the Esplanade des Œufs on the right, turn right and head back to the town hall forecourt, which was your starting point (S/E).

A family walk; no equipment required.
