Group Offer
In a group, you'll reach the Pyrenees lighthouse
Le Pic du Midi is the excursion of choice in the Pyrenees when you decide to travel as a group. A personalised welcome and delicious regional specialities mean you can enjoy a unique high-mountain experience. In the comfort of a glass-fronted cabin, you set off on a spectacular ascent. The Pic du Midi cable car, or rather cable cars, as there are two of them, will take you up more than 1,000 metres to an exceptional location. At 2341 m, at the Taoulet intermediate station, you change cabins to reach the summit. The cabins can accommodate up to 45 people, and the whole group can enjoy the sensations and emotions of a spectacular ascent to a historic and scientific high mountain site.
As soon as you arrive, your group can enjoy a personalised activity (booking required).
If there's one natural site in the Pyrenees that can be visited in a group, it's surely the Pic du Midi.
As soon as you arrive at the summit, you'll be looked after by the entertainment team. The leaders will guide you and explain in detail the magical spectacle of the mountain before you. It's a unique moment of discovery and conviviality.
