The Tumulus de Capvern trail
A lovely circular walk with long stretches through the woods (very pleasant in summer) and a beautiful view of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre at the start. Pass near the Tumulus de l'Estaque and enjoy a superb view of the Château de Malvezin. I recommend doing the walk in this direction, otherwise you won't necessarily see the château!
From La Hélère to La Baïse
A lovely shaded circuit around Aubertin, on the banks of the Baïse, on the ridges facing the Pyrenees and in the vineyards of Jurançon.
The Pic d'Escurets
Located 40 minutes from Pau, the Benou plateau is a well-known destination for families looking to get some fresh air in a beautiful pastoral setting. You can easily reach the famous stone circles (cromlechs), burial sites of our Iron Age ancestors (3,000 years ago) overlooking the Ossau Valley. And if you're feeling brave, head to the Pic d'Escurets to admire the panorama stretching from Tarbes to Bayonne. Superb!
Piétat and its fountains
First, discover the site itself, the Sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Piétat, built in 1661 by the inhabitants of the farming community of Pardies. The region is rich in history! Next, enjoy the splendid view of the Nay valley to the south-east of Pau, and another beautiful panorama of the Pyrenees from the sanctuary's orientation table. Finally, you can have fun discovering the fountains and other springs hidden in the woods and hills of the site....
The Henri IV Trail
A beautiful route linking Lourdes to Pau along an ancient Roman road steeped in history. The Henri IV trail stretches across the Hautes-Pyrénées and Pyrénées-Atlantiques departments, along the foothills of the Pyrenees.
Around Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre
In the Hautes-Pyrénées, near Lourdes, Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre reveals some of its charms during this hike: architecture, limestone massif and caves (with views of the Gave de Pau and the surrounding mountains), and even its Devil's Bridge!
Mont de Gez
To the west of Argelès-Gazost, there is a very pretty, not too difficult circuit on well-maintained trails offering two viewpoints over the Gave de Pau valley and a 360° view of the Central Pyrenees!
The Mâture and the Col d'Arras Path
One of the best-known paths in the Pyrenees, carved into the steep rock above the Gorges d'Enfer. The Chemin de la Mâture still echoes with the blows of the pickaxes of the convicts who dug it. An unforgettable page of history!
Mail Arrouy
At the entrance to the Aspe Valley, 10 km south of Oloron-Sainte-Marie, lie the first foothills of the Western Pyrenees. The Mail Arrouy, or Rocher Rouge, towers over the Oloron plain from a height of 1,250 m. Although the route is well-known, it is rarely used, physically demanding and the landscape is rather wild... That is the price you pay to admire this beautiful region! Recommended for experienced hikers only.
Lac de Gaube from La Raillère
Discover Lac de Gaube from La Raillère, south of Cauterets, via theGR®10.
The Cabanes d'Ansabère
From Lescun, discover the Aiguilles d'Ansabère and the superb landscape of the Aspe Valley!
The Ehujarre Gorges
A stone's throw from the Kakoueta Gorges, a major tourist attraction in Haute Soule, are the Ehujarre Gorges, wild, secluded and a real delight for hikers.
The Sussergue Valley towards the Losko ridges
Not far from the famous Holzarté Gorges, here is an easy-to-follow route that will take you to the Soule ridges, facing the Western Pyrenees.
The Saubajot Ridge from the Col d'Aran
Easy hike to the Col d'Aran and the famous rock of the same name. And if snow prevents you from reaching the rock, walk along the ridge to the east and enjoy a very pretty view.
