Boucle au départ d'Aulus-Les-Bains vers la cascade d'Ars et retour par la cascade du Fouillet.

La cascade du Fouillet, de moindre envergure, est tout aussi belle et impressionnante.

This hike, accessible to all, offers a taste of the high mountains. After the Étang de Labant, the route leads to the Pic de Cabanatous, a marvellous lookout point over the Étangs de Bassiès and beyond to the great summits of the Ariège. On the way back, the Étang d'Alate is the perfect place to stop for a break before heading back to the Port de Saleix, a very important ancient communication route that facilitated trade between the Couserans and Vicdessos regions.

A very beautiful circular hike to do in good weather. There are a few passages with cables and iron ladders, but they are not particularly difficult. The markings are sometimes unclear. This is a hike to be done at a leisurely pace, taking time to observe the flora and fauna. Allow for 7 hours rather than the average time automatically calculated.

7 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from Ustou (Ariège)
A magnificent route in the mid- and high-mountain range, with water features in the first part, then vast horizons opening up before your eyes.
This circuit requires a good level of fitness but is well worth the effort.
N.B. Please take into account the difficult sections at (3) and (6).
Only to be attempted in very good weather: from (4) very difficult orientation in foggy weather and from (7) exposure to thunderstorms.

Very difficult
Departure from Ustou (Ariège)
This hike, which presents no difficulty until you reach the foot of the Cirque de Cagateille, will make you sweat to reach the Étang de la Hillette.
But it's well worth the effort to discover this little Pyrenean fjord!
