Description of the walk

Start above the church in Baudéan.

(S/E) Follow the street on the left, which quickly turns into a path.

(1) On leaving the village, leave the road and take the path that climbs up to the left. Pass the hamlets of Le Buala and then Bayen. The climb is gradual and easy.

(2) After crossing a stream, take a short steep path on the left to reach the highest point of the walk.

(3) At the crossroads, turn right and head north-east, crossing a stream. Turn south-east along the path.

(4) Pass a pig farm and turn left towards Lastioue. Continue to the right to cross another stream and reach Dusturons.

(5) Start a winding descent on the right, which may be a little steep and slippery. Pass a first path on the right, then a second on the left.

(6) When you reach Baudéan, turn right and cross the small bridge. Then climb up to the left to reach the car park (S/E).

Notes

Not recommended in wet weather as it is very slippery and muddy in places. Between (2) and (4), several sections may be muddy or slippery: take care if the weather is wet.
However, it is very pleasant as it is well sheltered by vegetation.
Accessible to most people as it is not particularly difficult.

Worth a visit

Children will enjoy seeing the animals along the way: cows, sheep, horses, sheepdogs and even a herd of Gascon pigs bred for the production of AOP Porc Noir de Bigorre pork! We were even lucky enough to see a deer, which wasn't scared at all!

You will also notice the unusual structure of the church bell tower and the castle.

A very beautiful walk that is marked with PR signs.
You can follow the signs.
There are some steep descents on the way back.
Beaudéan is a small village that is well worth a visit.
Don't miss the Larrey Museum, dedicated to the pioneer of emergency medicine.

We thoroughly enjoyed this hike in dry, sunny weather. It remains easy despite two short climbs at the start and end of the route. Walking sticks are recommended but not essential. The view of the Pic du Midi is absolutely magnificent. We encountered some dogs, so please follow the instructions regarding Patou dogs. This very well-marked hike is a great way to discover life in the mountain pastures.

A very beautiful hike that I have done several times, in different seasons.
Be careful of the steep terrain, which can be very slippery if it has rained in the previous days, shortly before returning to the village.
