Ars waterfall
one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Pyrenees
A spectacular natural site in the heart of Couserans

A hike not to be missed
and accessible
About 2 h 30 round trip on a well-marked trail
The trail starts from Aulus-les-Bains, at 750 m altitude. The trail climbs steadily through the forest, following a stream and then leading to clearings with views of the waterfall. The route is suitable for families used to walking, with around 500 m of positive ascent.
A changing decor
through the seasons
Powerful cascade in spring, peaceful and shady in summer
The waterfall reaches full flow between May and June, with an impressive din. In summer, it remains spectacular but quieter, offering a cool stopover in the heart of the woods. Autumn reveals a flamboyant landscape, with colorful forests and soft light.
