High-mountain guides, river guides and mountain escorts in Cauterets since 1862: canyoning at Cauterets and Gavarnie, Vignemale, via ferrata, rafting and snowshoeing.

## Who they are

The Cauterets guides' bureau was officially founded in 1862. Today it brings together high-mountain guides qualified by the National School of Skiing and Mountaineering, mountain escorts and river guides with a canoeing qualification who specialise in rafting.

## What they do

In summer, canyoning every day, rafting every day, the ascent of the Vignemale by the Ossoue glacier (group departures on Wednesdays and Sundays from 5 July to 30 August), via ferrata on Tuesdays and on request, climbing and hiking. In winter, snowshoeing, ski touring and off-piste.

## The canyons

All from €50 per person, half a day, from June to October, with helmet, harness, wetsuit and neoprene booties:

Ossoue, at Gavarnie: adjustable difficulty, from age 8, with a view of the cirque; every big jump has a variant.

Meyabat, at Cauterets: the most sporty, from age 14 and for good swimmers.

Gloriettes, above Gèdre: abseils under a waterfall, from age 12.

The guide provides transport from Cauterets, depending on places. You must be able to swim 25 m.
