NOX : an immersive 360° show
15min
"Nox, a trip in the night" is an immersive journey that raises awareness of the impact of light pollution and offers a new perspective on darkness. The journey begins in Toulouse and takes visitors to the Col du Tourmalet, then the Pic du Midi, and on to the planets beyond the summits. From the wildest dreams to the most frightening nightmares, night is a mysterious yet fascinating time. Important: this show is not recommended for people with epilepsy.
The photo exhibition
15min
The Pic du Midi, the Association Instant Science and the CPIE 65 (Centre Permanent d'Initiatives pour l'Environnement Bigorre - Pyrénées) have teamed up to offer a programme of events to take visitors on a quest for history. This summer, the Pic du Midi has decided to bring back to life the Tour de France, which made the Col du Tourmalet internationally famous, through historic black and white photos from the Alix collection. The ascent, the elevation, the combativeness, the surpassing of oneself, are the key words of this ascent to the Col just as the construction of the Pic du Midi was.
