Come and discover the lake of Gaube and its surroundings on a snowshoe hike from Cauterets!

Looking for an incredible adventure in the snowy Pyrenees? Head to Cauterets for a snowshoe hike to Lac de Gaube! Whether it's for a half-day or a full day, the instructors at Acumpanyat Cauterets invite you to discover an incredible high altitude frozen lake in the heart of the Pyrenees: Lac de Gaube.

Covering almost 23 hectares at an altitude of 1,731 metres, Lac de Gaube offers a magnificent setting for snowshoe trekking in Cauterets. Nestling between a number of Pyrenean peaks over 2,000 metres high, including the Col de la Coste Ardoune, the Col de Bernadole and the Col des Mulets, you can admire the iconic Vignemale in the background.

This snowshoeing excursion to Lac de Gaube takes place in the company of a qualified mountain guide, whom you will meet in the centre of Cauterets. You'll then head off together to the Plateau du Puntas, where you'll find the superb Pont d'Espagne nature reserve, before continuing your ascent to Lac de Gaube, with a climb of up to 299 metres.

With no major difficulties, this snowshoe walk to Lac de Gaube is accessible to everyone, making it an ideal outing for families and groups of friends in the Pyrenees!
