Are babies allowed to visit?

Children under the age of 3 are not recommended to take the cable car. We advise you to contact your doctor for medical advice. The difference in altitude between La Mongie and the Pic du Midi (1077 m) is covered in less than 15 minutes. The inner ear of very young children is not sufficiently developed to withstand the pressure of this rapid journey. From the age of 3, the body reacts naturally, allowing the child to make the ascent without danger.

Can you visit the Pic du Midi pregnant?

Access to the summit is strongly discouraged for pregnant women due to the altitude. There is a risk of complications such as high blood pressure and premature delivery. A pregnant woman living below 500m should not exceed 2000m. We advise you to contact a health professional for further information.
