La Pierre Saint-Martin
A wealth of activities
Summer opening
On the border with Spain and in the heart of Béarn, La Pierre Saint-Martin reveals a striking, almost lunar landscape in summer—truly unique in the Pyrenees. Famous for its vast karst plateau, one of the largest in Europe, the resort turns into a white limestone wilderness shaped over time, contrasting with the deep green mountain pine forests. This is a wild, mysterious landscape where rock is everywhere, forming a natural maze that fascinates both curious visitors and lovers of wide-open spaces. Far from the busier valleys, La Pierre Saint-Martin is all about getting away from it all and immersing yourself in raw, untouched nature. Summer here is all about:
- MTB: fun, flowing descents across former ski slopes turned green trails
- Cross-border hiking: trails that take you in just a few steps into Spain’s Larra Valley
- Living pastoral traditions: meeting shepherds and tasting AOP Ossau-Iraty sheep’s cheese straight from the summer pastures
- Speleology: the world-famous Pierre Saint-Martin chasm, for exploring the depths of the earth

“Perfect for families and friends. A quiet little resort with just what you need for a relaxing stay.”
Valérie
“I spent my summer holidays here and absolutely loved it! It’s close to all the activities in the area. We were advised that in summer it’s better to stay lower down the mountain than La Pierre Saint-Martin, but personally I loved the atmosphere of being surrounded by mountains.”
Lucas
“It was truly beautiful and magical. The sled ride with the mushers and their huskies was incredible. The conditions were perfect. A truly unforgettable experience.”
Audrey
“A lovely resort in the Pyrenees with plenty of activities in summer: hiking, mini golf, sledging, scooter descents (adrenaline guaranteed!) and beautiful nearby spots such as the Verna Cave (the largest underground chamber in the world), the Holzarte footbridge, and the 3 Mousquetaires festival in Aramits, among others.”
Mickaël
“I was delighted with my first snowshoeing experience in La Pierre Saint-Martin. It was also wonderful to see the sled dogs. The scenery is stunning with all the snow, and the trail was well maintained and clearly marked.”
Nadège
“An extraordinary day of skiing. One of the most beautiful slopes in the world… trees, sunshine, perfect weather and excellent service.”
Jimmy
“La Pierre Saint-Martin is not only a family ski resort, it also offers stunning lunar-like landscapes in spring and summer.”
Thierry
“A beautiful climb through increasingly rocky scenery, with a stunning view at the top. Make sure to bring water, as there are no springs along the route.”
