Where and when do you find animal tracks? How to recognise them, and of course how to make plaster casts of them. You'll learn some tips that will allow you to go off and find animal footprints in the area all on your own.

Discover the secret lives of birrds. You'll learn about their habits and habitats by listening and observing on 3 hectars of meadowland, woodland and rocky outcroppings alongside the Salat river, a perfect place for an initiation into ornithology.

Vegetanimal is an original concept where art and nature cohabit marvellously. Scale models of Pyreneen wildlife exhibiting typical behaviours are constructed by growing boxwood into wire scuptures are placed in their natural habitat. It's a wonderful naturalist's teaching tool for all ages.

The Grotte du Loup (the Wolf's Cave), located on the Miguet farm and extending under the historic town of Saint Lizier, will surprise you by its wealth of prehistoric finds. Alongside the Salat river, humans left traces of their passage.

Identified by specialists as a prehistoric animal trap, numerous animals bones have been found there : wolf, ibix, men, women and children.

Children can descend into the cave through an enormous tree stump and pass through a natural tunnel carved by flowing water.

Come with the whole family to learn mountaneering skills.

Rock climbing, use of a walking stick, avalanche simulation. You'll participate in a series of workshops that will teach you to safely master the different useful techniques for walking and hiking in the mountains. Knowledge of the risks and the steps to take in case of danger allow you to better prepare yourself for the pleasure of hiking..

Bring the family and spend an unforgettable evening cooking around a campfire like the trappers on the North American frontier. You'll participate in the preparation of your meal: building a wood fire, making nettle and dandelion soup, roasting a rabbit or chicken over a spit, just like the woodmen of times past.
