Culture

At the Transhumance Festival (Fête de la transhumance), the herds are led down and driven through the village; there is also a demonstration of sheepdogs. The Transhumance Festival (Fête de la transhumance) in Licq-Athérey is returning to Soule. The festival includes a market featuring local producers and artisans, as well as a meal prepared with regional products.

Nature

The 10.1-kilometre Intxuriste Aterei–Licq hiking loop begins in Athérey and passes through the foothills of the Pyrenees. The Intxuriste Aterei–Licq hiking trail leads to the ridge of Intxuriste and offers panoramic views over Haute Soule.

A cromlech near the Intxuriste hiking trail, together with several burial mounds, is considered evidence that shepherds stayed there in prehistoric times.
