Pic du Jer
Ride a historic funicular from the 1900s up to the 948-metre summit for views over Lourdes and the Pyrenees.
Pic du Jer lies on the southern outskirts of Lourdes. The rack railway, which opened in 1900, takes about 8 minutes to climb to the upper station. From there, a walk leads to the summit viewpoint at 948 metres, which overlooks the town of Lourdes, the pilgrimage site and distant snow-capped peaks. At night, the cross on the summit is lit. The mountain has caves to explore and mountain-bike trails. A round trip costs about €15. The lower station can be reached by bus or on foot.
