The landscape around Cauterets is a steep high-Pyrenean valley, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and its long-standing thermal-tourism economy. The Gave de Cauterets runs through this mountain setting, while forests and high passes lead towards the French–Spanish border. Cauterets became a noted spa destination for its thermal waters, and its streets retain an ensemble of 19th-century spa-era buildings. Nearby Pont d’Espagne is a well-known starting point for walks in the Pyrenees National Park, and the town also serves the Cirque du Lys ski area in winter.
