Saint-Lary, Mountain commune in Ariège, France

Saint-Lary covers 33.91 square kilometers in the Ariège department, reaching 2,210 meters elevation at Pic de la Calabasse peak with diverse mountain landscapes and numerous scattered hamlets throughout its territory.

The commune historically belongs to the Couserans region and was situated on the ancient salt route, experiencing mining activity in the early 20th century with silver-bearing and lead ore extraction.

Saint-Lary preserves its Romanesque Saint-Hilaire church and maintains Gascon traditions of the region, reflecting Pyrenean cultural identity through its architectural heritage and local festivals.

The commune is led by Mayor Gérard Dubuc since 2020 and belongs to the Couserans-Pyrénées community of communes, facilitating access to regional administrative and tourist services.

Saint-Lary contains the source of the Bouigane river that flows over 24 kilometers and is part of the Pyrénées ariégeoises Regional Natural Park created in 2009.
