The Gabas lake is a true viewpoint over the Pyrenees and a jewel of nature. This reservoir of nearly 20 million cubic meters offers an ideal setting for a break by the water, with the silhouette of the mountains in the background.

Morlaàs, an essential stopover village on the paths of Compostela, reveals a peaceful atmosphere. The town was once the historic capital of Béarn and has a very beautiful historical heritage.

Between Tarbes and Pau, you can admire this lake and the Pyrenees in the background! It is possible to go completely around the lake but you will need a mountain bike or gravel.
