Cascade d'Ars

The Ars waterfall forms a continuous cascade of water dropping 246 meters through three distinct levels in the Pyrenees Regional Natural Park.

The geological formations that created the Ars waterfall emerged during the formation of the Pyrenees mountains through tectonic plate movements millions of years ago.

Local shepherds have maintained traditional pastoral practices around the waterfall area, contributing to the preservation of mountain meadows and paths.

The hiking trail to reach the waterfall starts from Aulus-les-Bains village, requiring a 4-hour round trip through marked mountain paths at 1380 meters elevation.

During late spring, the melting snow from mountain peaks transforms the waterfall into its most powerful state, creating substantial water flows visible from distant points.
