General presentation

The Pont d'Espagne is a natural tourist attraction in the Pyrenees, at an altitude of around 1,500 m in the commune of Cauterets in the Hautes-Pyrénées department.
It is a protected area in the Pyrenees, part of the Pyrenees National Park. It also boasts a cross-country ski area, part of the Cauterets winter sports resort.
Its name derives from the fact that it was an ancient route over the mountains to Spain, and from the stone bridge over the Gave.

The site is classified as a Grand Site Occitanie.
