Cascade d'Ars

Cascade d'Ars is a waterfall located in the Couserans region within Pyrenees Regional Natural Park, where water flows down through rocky terrain in successive drops. The site sits at high elevation surrounded by mountain slopes and dense forest.

The Pyrenees mountains formed millions of years ago through geological processes that shaped the landscape of the Couserans region. This ancient formation created the rocky terrain and elevation differences that allow water to cascade naturally.

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

Access is by marked hiking trail that begins from a nearby village and winds through mountain terrain over several hours. The path includes elevation gain and rocky sections, so sturdy footwear and basic fitness are recommended.

The water flow changes dramatically with the seasons, with spring snowmelt creating particularly powerful currents that project water far from the base. This natural rhythm makes each visit quite different depending on when you arrive.
