Station thermale de Barèges

The thermal facility contains multiple pools with bubble benches, jet streams, and hydromassage baths situated at an elevation of 1250 meters in the Hautes-Pyrénées region.

The thermal waters were discovered in the 15th century when a farmer noticed an injured sheep quickly recovering after bathing in a warm sulphurous pool.

The French medical system recognizes thermal treatments as valid medical procedures, with many citizens reducing their medication through thermal spa treatments.

The facility offers aquatraining sessions, massage treatments, and access to thermal pools, with options for individual visitors, couples, and families throughout the year.

The waters contain Barégine, a natural white filament produced by sulphur bacteria that provides antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties to the thermal baths.
