What’s New at the Pic du Midi
2026-2027 Season
Welcome to an altitude of 2,877 metres, where the sky meets the summits. More than just a viewpoint, the Pic du Midi is a place apart, steeped in history, silence and light, which has drawn nature lovers and stargazers for generations.
This season, a page of history reopens : the Hôtellerie des Laquets is welcoming guests once again, becoming the highest hotel in France. And to celebrate spring, the summit will come alive with an exceptional concert on 3 April 2027.
The Pic du Midi is even making its way onto the rugby pitch, with a Stade Toulousain tribute jersey.
So, ready to discover the new features making the Pic du Midi shine this season?
After two years of work, the Hôtellerie des Laquets reopened its doors on 25 September 2026. Perched at an altitude of 2,620 m and linked to the Pic du Midi by a small cable car, it is now the highest establishment in France.
A night at Les Laquets means :
- 16 rooms facing the panorama: including a premium suite for 2 to 4 people, for 34 guests each night;
- a cosy lounge: with a fireplace, bar and piano, to admire the peaks in warmth and comfort;
- a relaxation area: hammam and sauna after your visit to the Pic;
- a bistronomy-style dinner: created with Stéphane Tournié, Michelin-starred chef at Les Jardins de l’Opéra in Toulouse;
- a continental breakfast: facing the Pyrenees mountain range.
Overnight guests explore the Pic du Midi at the end of the day, then ride the cable car back down to their room. In winter, guests are welcomed for overnight stays only, and opening periods follow those of the Pic. The establishment is aiming for a 4-star rating.
From €599 per double room, including cable car access, the visit of the Pic du Midi, dinner for two, the night and breakfast. Discover your night at the Hôtellerie des Laquets now.
A vaulted roof, walls made of stone quarried on site, and a wooden extension clad in shingles in shades of brown, grey and russet: the building blends into the mountain.
The original wing embraces a “rustic chic” style and the culture of Pyrenean mountaineering. The new wing features a Nordic-inspired design, entirely focused on the panorama.
Nearly a century serving mountaineers
Built between 1930 and 1933, the Hôtellerie des Laquets was long the essential stopover on the way to the Pic du Midi. Until 1996, it welcomed tourists, mountaineers, writers and scientists from the golden age of sky observation.
Its revival, representing an investment of nearly €12.7 million, is part of the Pic du Midi’s bid for UNESCO World Heritage status.
And in summer? Hikers coming from the Col du Tourmalet can enjoy daytime snacks and an 80 m² terrace facing the Pyrenees. The perfect break with the Pic du Midi Hiking Pass.
Every summer, the Pic du Midi hosts concerts on one of the most beautiful stages in the Pyrenees. In summer 2026, it welcomed Mosimann, Thylacine and Suzane, facing an exceptional panorama.
To celebrate spring and the start of the Easter holidays, join us on Saturday 3 April 2027 for a concert evening at the summit. The French headline artist will be announced during the autumn.

Stade Toulousain is paying tribute to the Pic du Midi with its 2026-2027 Away jersey. For the club, the Pic has been observing the stars for over 150 years, and Toulouse turns these observations into scientific discoveries: two legacies from the same region, passed down from generation to generation. The jersey is available at the Pic du Midi shop. A great Christmas gift idea to slip under the tree for any rugby fan!
