From the outset, the "Cirque of Gavarnie" in the Hautes-Pyrénées surprises by its colossal size: 2,625 ft in diameter, more than 2 miles in circumference at its base and nearly 9 miles in circumference at its highest point with a depth of 5,500 ft from top to bottom. And as if to complete such a superb picture, its great 1,385 ft-high cascade (the highest in Europe) seems suspended in mid-air.
A visit to Gavarnie can be extended by a trip to the "Brèche de Roland" (one of the most popular in the Pyrénées). Although it is not particularly difficult, a good deal of care and the adequate equipment are however essential. Gavarnie also has smaller neighbouring cirques such as "Troumouse" and "Estaubé", also worth a visit.
