Take the time
Discover Comminges in Spring. From north to south, Comminges offers colorful landscapes, with its green and yellow hillsides and snow-capped Pyrenees.
Biodiversity is awakening, with wild orchids and daffodils popping up on roadsides, around lakes and in fields.
Spring is here!
Admittedly, it’s a season that alternates between bright sunshine and rain showers, but it’s also the time when everything is reborn so let’s make the most of it!
We can’t resist putting on our sneakers and heading out for a walk in the great outdoors.
Depending on what you’re looking for, you can opt for forests, lakes, country lanes… If you’re more of a walker, cyclist or mountain biker, Rando Comminges has something for you. In any case, take your time.
The sunshine is inviting you to take a picnic break and sample the local produce, and it’s even better if you have a view of the Pyrenees and/or the hillsides! There are numerous orientation tables all over the region, with plenty of places to stop and rest.
