Laruns

Built around the Gave d’Ossau valley route, Laruns grew into the main settlement of the upper Ossau Valley in the French Pyrenees. The village lies beneath high country leading towards the Col du Pourtalet, the road pass into Spain, while the distinctive Pic du Midi d’Ossau rises farther south. Laruns is closely tied to Béarn’s pastoral traditions: summer transhumance still takes herds to mountain pastures, and the 15 August festivities bring music, dancing and local costume to the centre. It is also a useful base for the lakes, trails and ski areas of the Vallée d’Ossau. Discover how Laruns connects with Béarn and the Pyrenees by browsing webcams nearby.
