A hike that allows you to discover a magnificent deep-blue lake nestled in its crater and to reach a peak offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the high summits. You’ll see plenty of marmots and perhaps a few chamois and griffon vultures.

Overlooking its imposing neighbours (the Vignemale and Pique Longue), the Petit Vignemale offers a beautiful panorama of the Vignemale massif and its glacier, as well as the 3,000-metre peaks of the Cirque de Gavarnie.

An 8-stage hiking tour, undertaken by two of us from 17 to 25 July 2019, between Gourette and Saint-Lary-Soulan. The route follows theGR®10trail for the most part, although we added a detour through the Marcadau Valley as well as a rest day in Gavarnie.

Departure from Cauterets (Hautes-Pyrénées)
Second stage of the four-day adventure from Cauterets to Luz-Saint-Sauveur via Petit Vignemale and Gavarnie. It can be done in one day, but I think it would be more enjoyable to split it into two days to take the time to appreciate the magnificent scenery!

Lakes, lakes, lakes!
Gazing out over the Pyrenees from the Vignemale is a much-sought-after experience. But taking in the full expanse of the Vignemale Massif from the Pic de Labas viewpoint (2,947 m) is a sight that no lover of the High Pyrenees mountains can afford to miss!The climb to reach it is manageable, and from up there the 360° view is exceptional.Adding an extra touch of wilderness to this summit by completing the circular route around the Estom and Soubiran lakes is a challenging undertaking, but one that brings unrivalled satisfaction!
