Mount Perdu

Mount Perdu, located within the Pyrenees National Park, is renowned for its spectacular Cirque de Gavarnie, a vast natural amphitheater carved by glacial erosion. The centerpiece is the Grande Cascade de Gavarnie, one of the highest waterfalls in Europe, plunging 422 meters. Visitors can reach the cirque via a moderately challenging hike, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The area is particularly striking due to the changing colors of the foliage, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers. The drive to the trailhead is scenic but can be lengthy and winding.
