Getting a kayak here would be very challenging, I do not think it would be possible, it is only accessible by cable car or a long climb. I am sure it is physically possible to swim in the lake but I have never seen anyone do so. It will be extremely cold!!

Hi I have never been the Lake with Kayaks on and it would be a very difficult place to get the kayak to ( on the chair lift etc). I have seen people swimming ( not sure if this is allowed tho) in the mountain lakes but they are extremely cold!! Hope that helps
My husband and I are planning a trip to Northern Spain and Southern France, including Cauterets. Thank you for sharing your experience. Where did you purchase your lift ticket, and how much was it?

Hi there, You will enjoy Cauteret, I am sure. The area is stunning. I am unsure about the lift as I walked/hiked both ways, I did see some tourists who had used the lift though. I think you buy a pass at the station where you park. There is an admin block there. Have a good trip.
We are planning a trip to this area in July, are dogs welcome? They will kept under close control at all times. Many Thanks

We take our dogs to Cauterets & Pont' D'Espagne regularly. They are medium-sized Elkhounds. When they are in the national park they have to be on leads and this is quite strictly enforced. Before you get into the national park there are places where you can picnic by the river on the edge or of the car park and the dogs love it there. There is a small ski lift that runs from the car park up to the main plateau at Port D'Espagne you can take the dogs in this ski lift, no problem as its enclosed. Also the river there is a lovely walk with mountains on either side. From this level there is an open chair lift that runs up to Lac De Gaube. You can't take dogs on this as its open and very high. However if you are feeling energetic there is a footpath all the way up to the lake which takes about 45 mins. The restaurant by the lake has a large terrace with seating and dogs are welcome as long as they are on leads. Outside the national park on the slopes above Cauterets we have let the dogs run freely with no problems. The small restaurant halfway up the mountain called 'la Ferme Basque' Welcomes dogs.
