## Description

Cirès sits at the head of the Luchon valley in the Haute-Garonne, and Altisurface de Cap De Barres, at roughly 1,770 metres, is one of the high strips reserved for mountain-flying pilots in light aircraft. Neither scheduled nor cargo traffic exists here; there are no handling facilities and no customs post. Shippers in the Luchonnais use Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS), some 130 kilometres north, or Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées (LDE) to the west for their air freight.
