Itinerary description






Family Hiking Adventure at Etang de Soulcem and Cascade de Labinas in the French Pyrenees




The Pyrenees is a magnificent mountain range that stretches across the border of France and Spain. It is renowned for its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and breathtaking natural wonders. In this blog post, I will take you on a family hiking adventure through two of the most beautiful spots in the Pyrenees: Etang de Soulcem and Cascade de Labinas.




Etang de Soulcem is a beautiful lake located in the heart of the Pyrenees. It is a popular destination for hikers, nature lovers, and families who are looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The lake is surrounded by dense forests and towering mountains, making it the perfect place for a family hike.




Our family hike started early in the morning, and we were greeted by a stunning sunrise over the mountains. The air was crisp and fresh, and the sound of birds singing filled the forest. We followed a well-trodden path that circled around the lake, taking in the stunning views as we walked.




As we hiked, we encountered several snowdrifts and patches of ice along the path, but they only added to the adventure. Our children were amazed by the beauty of the winter landscape, and we all agreed that this was the perfect way to start our day.




After a few hours of hiking, we reached the end of the path, and it was time to continue our journey to Cascade de Labinas. This waterfall is one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the Pyrenees, and it is well worth the trek.




The hike to Cascade de Labinas was more challenging than the one around Etang de Soulcem, but the stunning scenery along the way made it all worth it. We hiked through dense forests and past sparkling streams, and we were rewarded with stunning views of the waterfall as we approached.




The Cascade de Labinas is a breathtaking sight, and it is surrounded by towering cliffs and dense forests. The waterfall is fed by a series of springs that cascade down the cliffs, creating a truly breathtaking natural wonder.




We spent several hours exploring the area around the waterfall, taking in the stunning views and enjoying the peace and quiet of the forest. Our children had a great time playing in the snow and exploring the area, and we all agreed that this was one of the best family hikes we had ever taken.




In conclusion, a family hike through Etang de Soulcem and Cascade de Labinas in the French Pyrenees is a must-do for anyone who loves nature and the outdoors. The stunning scenery, peaceful atmosphere, and the adventure of hiking through the winter landscape make it the perfect way to spend a day with loved ones. So, pack your bags, grab your hiking gear, and head out to the Pyrenees for a family adventure that you'll never forget!
