The Holzarte footbridge overlooks the Olhadubi Gorge from 180 meters. This magnificent natural monument was consolidated in 2022. It is one of the most spectacular and busiest sites in the western Pyrenees.

This spectacle takes you definitively into the sector of the vertiginous gorges of Haute-Soule. From here you can admire the Holzarte footbridge which overlooks the Olhadubi gorges.

Quite a nice walk, be careful with the climb, ultimately short but a little rough and very bumpy, stones, steps etc. A little strenuous for the less trained but doable if you take your time. A handrail is installed in slippery places. The footbridge is worth the detour if you are not too afraid of heights 😉

Unmissable route. To do even if the path climbs well and is quite steep. Provide closed shoes

The Holtzarte footbridge was built in 1920 to facilitate the logging of the Holzarte forests. Later, in 2010, the bridge had to be rebuilt due to damage caused by Cyclone Xynthia, which swept across south-western France. It is currently one of the great attractions of the Soule valley along with the neighboring Kakuetta gorges.
