Cirque De Gavarnie is one of the most spectacular sights in the French Pyrenees. A natural amphitheatre of colossal mountains and cascading waterfalls, it might even be one of the most astonishing wonders of Europe.
Accessible via a fairly easy and undemanding hike from Gavarnie village, almost anyone can visit this UNESCO heritage site. There are, however, some restrictions and obstacles in place that you should keep in mind before you make the trip.
I cover everything you need to know before you hike Cirque de Gavarnie in this article. I also share the details of a more challenging and adventurous hiking route to the Gavarnie waterfall that we stumbled upon on our return journey.
