Bonac-Irazein walks

A beautiful ridge walk offering magnificent views of the Pyrenean mountains, including Mont Valier and the Piedmont. Moderately challenging, it is fairly easy to complete. It is possible to stay overnight at the Cabane de l'Arraing: maximum four to five places.

Splendid view of the Couserans peaks with a crossing of a summer pasture and the discovery of an old marble quarry.

A circular loop to climb Pic de l'Arraing via Pic de Sérau, following the pretty ridges.

Summit with a superb view of the Couserans part of the Pyrenees mountain range.

The route is mainly in the shade. Only the summit is in full sun from the village of Antras. The climb up the Col de Mourères is not difficult. A beautiful walk on the Balcon du Biros

This large circular takes us through varied landscapes, discovering the riches of the Couserans. The Pic de Crabère is the remarkable highlight of this beautiful journey. From its height of 2,630 metres, you can see the high peaks of the Ariège and Luchonnais on either side, while to the south, the Aneto massif dominates the landscape. To fully enjoy this long hike, don't hesitate to stop for the night at the Étang d'Araing refuge. You'll have a front-row seat to watch the magical spectacle of the sunset over the Pic de Crabère.

Torrential streams, forests, mountain pastures, panoramic views, huts and chapels await you on this hike at the bottom of the Biros valley.

An unusual hike along an old mining railway line with tunnel crossings.

A steep climb rewarded by a 360° panorama of the Couserans and Biros peaks.

The highest point in the Val d'Aran and Couserans, Maubermé is often overlooked in favour of Mont Valier. However, unlike Valier, the path climbs steadily and pleasantly to Port d'Urets (and its small hut where you can spend the night), then becomes a little steeper to reach the summit, which may prove a little difficult for those who are not used to it.

Combine mountain hiking with discovering industrial heritage.This valley has a significant mining heritage, and the succession of reminders of this during the climb, dotted with ruins and twisted, rusty scrap metal, evokes the past importance of the heart of our mountain range.

A challenging hike that takes you to a summit with breathtaking views of the Mail de Bulard.

This demanding hike takes you to the "Seigneur du Couserans".

A pretty loop in the Couserans valleys, leading to the Rond and Long lakes, overlooked by the iconic peaks of the massif, Mont Valier and Pic des Trois Comtes. The route often runs close to the water and is dotted with beautiful waterfalls, guaranteeing a change of scenery.

An alternative to climbing Mont Valier, passing through the adjacent valley and the Col de Pécouch, offering a change of scenery and magnificent landscapes. This variant adds 1h30 to the return journey compared to the outward route and an additional 250 m of elevation gain. This alternative is also less frequented than the main route.
