Dune du Pyla

North of Village Ocelandes and near Arcachon lies Dune du Pyla. This enormous bare sand mountain with its height of 117 metres, its length of 2700 metres and its width of 500 metres is the largest dune in Europe.

Dune du Pyla is a ‘walking dune’, moving every year as much as 4 metres. The dune has a very steep slope. There are stairs in the summer months. The summit of the dune looks very much like a moon landscape.
