Pont d'Espagne
A series of rushing waterfalls and an old stone bridge above Cauterets, one of the most popular hiking starting points in the Pyrenees National Park.
Pont d'Espagne lies about 8 km south of Cauterets, where several torrents converge to form a chain of waterfalls. The old stone bridge was once the route into Spain. You can hike up from Cauterets along the Waterfall Route. From the paid car park, take the chairlift or walk for about an hour to Lac de Gaube. Shuttle buses run from Cauterets in summer. The site lies within the Pyrenees National Park, so please keep to the marked trails.
