Parc Animalier des Pyrénées lodges: sleep beside wolves, bears or red pandas
Choose the animal experience first. La Cabane du Trappeur faces European grey wolves, Le Refuge overlooks black wolves from Canada, La Tanière looks into the brown-bear habitat, and Asian Lodge faces red pandas from its terrace and large windows. The animals move naturally, so their exact position and visibility can never be guaranteed.
Choose your animals, then compare capacity
All four current animal-view stays include two days of park admission, dinner, breakfast, bed and bath linen, a private hot shower and toilet, a microwave and a terrace. Beds-made status and end-of-stay cleaning are not clearly stated on the official lodge pages.
Which animals can you observe from each lodge?
These are four distinct animal-view categories inside the park. Select the habitat before the room size: each accommodation is designed around one particular species or wolf group.

Getting to Parc Animalier des Pyrénées
The park is at 60 bis Avenue des Pyrénées, 65400 Ayzac-Ost, at the entrance to Argelès-Gazost. The official FAQ places it around 10 minutes from Lourdes and 25 minutes from Tarbes by road.
- By car: use the A64, exit 12 towards Lourdes, then continue to Ayzac-Ost. A reserved parking place near reception is described for lodge guests.
- By train: route through Lourdes or Tarbes, then check the final taxi or bus connection for your arrival time. Do not assume an included lodge transfer.
- By regional bus: the park links to the current liO journey planner rather than publishing one permanent timetable. Check the exact stop, operating day and evening connection before booking.
