Camping La Bexanelle, Ariège - The Ariège Pyrenees – nature’s playground
Welcome to the Vallée d’Auzat and Vicdessos Outdoor Activities Centre in the heart of the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Natural Park. This family-friendly site set on the banks of a river offers a range of outdoor activities all year round, either on site or close by, including walking, canyoning, conventional and via ferrata climbing, woodland adventure courses, paragliding, potholing, canoeing and skiing. The valley, dominated by the towering Pic du Moncalm, leads right up to the Andorran border and is great for both family walks and more demanding climbs.
