Travel

I'm planning a trip to Gavarnie in mid-September, ideally by overnight train to Lourdes and then bus to Luz St Sauveur.  Does anybody know approx how many buses a day run to Luz and whether there are taxis in Luz to get to Gavarnie (I assume there is no other means to get there from Luz)?

Thanks for the info - it looks as though it should be possible to get the bus from Lourdes to Luz off the overnight train and then a taxi if necessary on to Gavarnie.  The plan is to stay a few nights at the Breche de Roland refuge and climb some of the peaks from there rather than go hut to hut.  A bit nearer the time I may try out my french on the tourist office in Luz to confirm things.

Bus from Lourdes to Cauterets and Luz is operated by SNCF  and hence is really a train in disguise. Timetable at

Normally one bus departs Lourdes for Cauterets  and makes a  connection with a Luz bus ( or the other way round).  Should be  able to purchase a ticket all the way from Paris to Luz .
