OK. letīs see. Gavarnie is a beautifull touristic town. itīs place in France, in the SSW. just in the limit with Spain, with Huesca. in winter time there is a lot of ice. good cascades and extremely difficult ones. there you decide. lots of possibilities. 3 of us went there last weekend, but... still no ice. just all the f... night snowing. but, no problem, Gavarnie will still be there waiting for us. and ice will come. for Christmas. it will be our present. if any other thing needed just write. ah, and sorry about my english i thik iīve forgotten most of it. have a nice time.
