A listed natural site with spectacular scenery<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The second largest glacial cirque in the Pyrenees after Gavarnie, the Cirque de Cagateille is a little-known gem in the Haut-Couserans region. Surrounded by peaks over 2,800 metres high, this wilderness site impresses with its verticality, waterfalls and unspoilt nature. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
