A spectacular ascent in two phases
2
0
In just fifteen minutes from the ski resort of La Mongie, a cable car climbs up to the summit of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre. The spectacular ascent takes place in two stages toward the 9,438 ft (2,877 m) of altitude of the top. The journey starts with an ascent to the peak of Taoulet at 7,680 ft (2,341 m) before a second glazed cabin initiates the departure towards the summit. The second part of the course takes passengers to the observatory and the summit through a spectacular panorama. The Pic du Midi is one of the two Réserves Internationales de Ciel Étoilé (Dark Sky International Preserves) in France along with the Parc National des Cévennes.
