Snowshoe rental in Artouste is the key to exploring the Ossau valley at your own pace, far from the hustle and bustle of the slopes. With Lac de Fabrèges at your feet and the Pic du Midi d'Ossau in the background, each step opens up a spectacular Pyrenean panorama.

Families will appreciate the gentle loops on the edge of the forest, ideal for initiating young and old alike. Lovers of wide-open spaces will enjoy the open valleys towards the Pourtalet, or the peaceful Soussouéou, where clearings alternate with wide combes. Here, the snow lends itself as much to contemplative strolls as to more sporting outings, always in an authentic mountain atmosphere.
