The tourist activities are a fantastic opportunity to discover the natural and cultural heritage of the Hautes-Pyrénées during your holiday at the La Mongie self catering resort. In terms of nature, you won’t want to miss the Pyrenees National Park, the Néouvielle nature reserve and Mont Perdu, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. To learn about the wildlife that inhabits it, the “La colline aux marmottes” (Marmot Hill) animal park will delight young and old alike. Over its 5 hectares, you will have the opportunity to get close to the marmots, brown bears, wolves, izards, mountain sheep, lynxes, foxes and otters... who roam relatively freely on the land.  The Beaucens medieval castle houses the “Eagle Dungeon” within its old walls, which brings together around fifty species of nocturnal and diurnal birds of prey. In terms of culture, the Hautes-Pyrénées provides no shortage of opportunities to bring the gourmet, musical, craft and festive traditions (back) to life. It's such a pleasure to amble along from markets to museums. To slow down and enjoy life on a terrace, in a wonderful little village, to the joyful rhythm of the “bandas” (music groups)! Discover Barèges, with its shepherd cabins made of stone and slate, as well as Saint-Savin, Campan, Arreau and Génos, to name but a few.
