Difficult
Departure from Arrens-Marsous (Hautes-Pyrénées)
A remote and little-known valley next to the Migouelou dam.
This hike is classified as difficult due to the elevation gain and because you need to be able to navigate from point (3) to point (7). You should only pass through points (2) and (1) in good weather.
Do not try to cut across the switchbacks as this accelerates erosion and increases fatigue.
