You are in the heart of the Ariège Pyrenees Natural Park.We encourage you to adopt responsible behavior in this fragile and shared environment.
- Stay on the trails and take your waste with you.
- Observe the flora without picking it.
- Remain discreet, for the wild animals.
- In grazing areas, remember to close fences and gates. Do not approach or feed animals. If a Patou (livestock guardian dog) approaches you, move away slowly and calmly. No sudden movements or shouting, even if it barks, as it will consider you a threat. If it follows you, ignore it.
- Swimming in the lakes is not recommended. Sunscreen (even organic!) and other cosmetics cause pollution in this fragile environment.
- Camping is allowed, but only between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m., and more than an hour’s walk from a parking lot.
- During drought periods, all fires are prohibited. In other cases, fires are allowed only more than 200m from a forest. Prefer stoves over natural fire pits.
- In case of an encounter, very unlikely, with a bear (which tries at all costs to avoid us): make your presence known calmly, gradually move away, and do not run.
