A lovely walk, with a short stretch of road at the start, which is very quiet. After that, it’s a steady climb up to the Pic du Mondarrain. A few wooded areas provide some shade. The final ascent is over rocky terrain; you may need to use your hands at times, but this is only occasionally necessary. On the descent from Mondarrain, there’s a brief, slightly more challenging section – a few metres where you’ll need to hold on to some rings set into the rock. However, this section can probably be bypassed via other paths shown on the maps if it really is too difficult; the idea was to complete a circular route.
