Baïgorry Valley

Baïgorry Valley is a mountain valley in the Pyrenees containing several small villages scattered across the terrain. The landscape shows steep slopes, meadows, and traditional buildings nestled throughout the valley.

The valley was settled starting in the 16th century by local families who developed it into distinct communities. The layout of the villages and their boundaries were shaped by this early period.

The people living here speak a local dialect and keep traditional crafts alive in their daily routines. The way of life remains closely tied to farming and customs that shape how the communities work and interact.

The villages are connected by a main road and can be explored on foot or by car. Hiking paths start at several points and lead through meadows and along streams.

The valley is known for specialized farms that breed a local pig variety used for high-quality pork products. This tradition is deeply rooted in the regional economy and shapes the daily work of many residents.
