Picnics are not allowed, for the comfort of all visitors.
Pets are not allowed on the cable car or at the summit of Pic du Midi, for hygiene and safety reasons.
Firstly, animals may cause allergy issues for some visitors (hair, saliva, etc.).
Secondly, the cable car and the summit are potentially hazardous environments for animals. Cabins can be confined and crowded, which may be stressful or unsafe. At the summit, cliffs, steep slopes and other natural hazards could also pose risks. The presence of animals could also affect the safety of visitors and staff due to unpredictable behaviour.
Pet boarding service available: animal care service available.
Assistance dogs are welcome.
