Mythical pass of the Pyrenees, impossible to come and not climb it. But prepare your most beautiful smile because photographers are present to immortalize everything ;)

Napoleon Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Pont Napoléon, commissioned by Napolén III, was built between 1859 and 1863. The structure spans the Gavarnie River, 65 meters above the watercourse.

If you feel like it, it is possible to do the bungee angel jump from the middle of the bridge.
