There are 4 ski resorts within 30 - 45 minutes drive from the village.
The area is known for some of the mountain stages of the Tour de France as they travel over the Col d'Aspin and onto the Col du Tourmalet, and keen cyclists can attempt one of these for themselves.
Aside from the many energetic pursuits such as skiing, hill walking and cycling there are lots of places to visit such as the fabulous waterfalls at Pont Espagne (about 1 and a half hours drive away through some spectacular scenery), an adventure parc at Val Louron, various caves, the towns of Lourdes and Toulouse, and some stunning lakes high up in the mountains to name just a few.
The spa town of Saint Lary Soulan (about 20 mins drive from Sarrancolin) boasts a fitness centre where you can swim, relax in the jacuzzi or ease away the aches and pains of the day with various massages and beauty treatments. Saint Lary also hosts a variety of restaurants serving anything from fondue to pizza.
