An "estive" : From June to September the hills around the Etang de Lers are the domain of Gascony cows, a local breed, who graze the tender grass of the mountain pastures. You'll admire their distinctive white coats and their beautiful black-rimmed eyes... from a safe distance.
A paragliding site : The slopes above the Etang are a favourite take-off point for paragliders; you can watch them lift off and soar against the backdrop of the green valleys of Massat.
