District:
Park in the Plat de Las Peyres car park.
(S/E) Below the car park, take the footbridge on the right that crosses the stream. Then turn left and follow the yellow marked path along the mountainside. This path climbs up the Coume de Varilhes towards the south-west. It finally leaves the left bank, turning left to descend and cross the Ruisseau de la Coume via a footbridge.
(1) Follow the yellow markings eastwards along the northern slope of the mountain. The climb is steady and easy. After a slightly steeper but fairly short and easy section, you will reach a small pond partially covered with vegetation.
(2) Continue along the path (still marked in yellow) which runs alongside two larger ponds before reaching the largest of the Fontargente ponds.
(3) Continue along the northern shore of the large pond and cross the stream to take theGR® T66 (marked in white and red) eastwards to the small pond below the Estagnol.
(4) Cross the stream and continue north on the path. When you pass a spring, be sure to fill your water bottles, as the Refuge de Rulhe sometimes runs out of drinking water.
(5) Continue north to the Refuge de Rulhe.
(6) Leave the refuge on your right and descend northwards for about 500 m, following the well-marked yellow trail. It runs along the mountain and turns left towards the west. Descend, keeping to the same direction, until you reach the Cabanne de Garsan plateau.
(7) Descend a few hundred metres, at the crossroads before the Aston stream continue to the right and easily reach the Pla de Laspeyres (S/E).
