Tourism in Béarn puts on its summer dress
Spring gives way to summer, much to the delight of visitors who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives. Inviting you to travel, summer promises nature, sun and a change of scenery. The Pyrenees have put on their summer dress and tourism in Bearn has adapted to the hottest season of the year. If you are wondering what to do in Bearn at this time of year, let us give you some ideas!
Without doubt the most unusual proposal, but oh so unmissable, the transhumance is an experience to be had at least once in your life! Every year, at the beginning of summer, the Bearn valleys of Aspe, Barétous, Ossau and Ouzom welcome the shepherds and their flocks to the high pastures. The summer ascent of the goats, sheep and lambs has a magical quality that will make you want to return to the Pays de Nay!
On a completely different note, why not take a refreshing break? Even if there is neither sea nor ocean, Béarn has a large number of rivers, waterfalls, lakes... Young and old alike can enjoy water sports, such as rafting, canyoning or water jumping, but also a relaxing break sunning themselves on the rocks. Who said that the mountains were less fun in summer?
Béarn in autumn colours
Sparkling with its flamboyant colours, autumn is dressed in its most beautiful golds to dazzle the majestic Pyrenees. Tourism in Béarn at this time of year promises a beautiful experience tinged with cinnabar, amaranth, fire red, burnt orange brown... A touch of nostalgia and a touch of poetry embrace the Béarn region, making it even warmer than usual.
To make the most of these shades of ochre, we recommend that you go to the vineyards. Whether you are there to walk, to taste or to harvest, you will not be insensitive to the charms of the autumn coloured hillsides.
Autumn is also the perfect season for cultural and historical visits. If you are not familiar with the Pyrenean heritage, this is the ideal time to perfect your G culture. Bastides, castles, heritage tours, museums, forges... Tourism in Béarn lives mainly through traditions, customs and ancestral know-how. Would you like to take a step back in history?
In the heart of the Pyrenees in winter
The cold is becoming more fierce, more intense, more rigorous... Winter is coming, slowly settling in, with its intense temperatures, its icy lights, its short days. Winter is here with its thick white coat. It covers the once green plains, forests and mountains with its silky, shiny, cottony fabric. Luminous white, the landscapes seem unreal. And yet, you are in the Pays de Nay!
There is something magical and intoxicating about tourism in Bearn at this time of year. It is an enchanted interlude where you can enjoy both winter sports activities and warm moments surrounded by your loved ones. It's the holidays! So after a ski or sled ride, a snowball fight or a snowmobile ride, gather around a table and enjoy this moment of conviviality. To accompany this reunion, we recommend warming up with one of the delicious regional specialities, such as garbure béarnaise. Comforting as can be!
Spring, summer, autumn, winter, which season is best for you to visit Béarn?
