This offbeat place invites you to take a walk, offering a unique landscape where every step reveals a new wonder. With its mosses, lichens, and ferns, the Gourgue d’Asque offers a tropical experience in the heart of the Pyrenees, a magical place where nature reigns supreme, to be explored far from the beaten paths.
