A vast playground for all sports

As well as the two big sports, rugby and Basque pelota, you can do practically all sports here thanks to the geographical diversity of the area:

hiking (main hiking routes and coastal tracks, more than 5,000 km of signposted paths);

extreme sports (potholing, rock climbing, paragliding …);

whitewater sports (rafting, canyoning, sea kayaking…);

surfing (from Anglet to Guéthary, the spots attract surfers from all over the world); golf (11 courses);

cycling (cycle tourism, mountain biking, the Tour de France which comes each year to Pau and the big Pyrenean cols…).

There is even skiing (3 downhill ski resorts and 3 cross-country resorts).
