In the restaurant sample some of the typical dishes of this region. The chef suggests:

"Olla aranesa" which is a regional stew;
"Civet de jabali", jugged wild boar caught in the mountains;
"Escalopes de ternera con champinon" being veal cooked in a mushroom sauce;
"Platanos flambeados a la catalana", which is flambeed bananas;

Vielha has a rich historic and cultural heritage. Visit the Romanic churches of the 12th and 13th centuries, the Ethnological Museum, and the Ice Palace.

The main celebrations in Vielha are the local Patron Feast held on September 8 and the Fair on October 8. The Battle of Flowers should not be missed in the month of August.
