A holiday at the Piau-Engaly self catering resort gives you the perfect opportunity to discover the tourist activities on offer in the Hautes-Pyrénées. The Piau-Engaly ski resort is relatively new, being founded only in 1971. But its birthplace, the Aure Valley, abounds in ancient cultural treasures including local cuisine and heritage sites. Spain is just around the corner. Not long ago, Piau actually joined forces with Sobrarbe in Spain, to create one tourist destination. So to enjoy a Mediterranean ambiance, you just have to cross the Aragnouet-Bielsa cross-border tunnel, which links the upper valley of Aure with the Bielsa Valley. To clear your head, in addition to your exploits on the slopes, we would suggest a visit to the Templar Chapel (Chapelle des Templiers) near Aragnouet, which is classified as a UNESCO world heritage site. Come and visit the honey farms and cheese dairies in the neighbouring villages. And don't miss Saint-Lary-Soulan and Arreau in France, and the picturesque narrow streets of Ainsa in Spain, one of the most beautiful villages in the Haut-Aragon.
