Bugard walks

This is a typical countryside walk for the whole family. Apart from the distance, which is a little long, it is not difficult. However, I recommend doing it on a clear day to fully enjoy the view of the Pyrenees.

A country route with sections through woodland. A pleasant and varied walk, both in terms of the paths and the landscapes.

A lovely route along forest paths through the village of Lubret-Saint-Luc to discover a beautiful manor house at a place called Le Castets, as well as a superb mosaic fresco on the façade of a house. The starting point is at Antin church. A well-shaded route.

Une belle balade sur les petits chemins qui vous mènent sur les coteaux de Galan avec de superbes points de vue sur la campagne environnante et la chaîne pyrénéenne. Un parcours sportif pour une remise en forme avant les sentiers de montagne un peu plus au sud.

Short walk around Lake Puydarieux. Bird sanctuary with access to huts. Route almost entirely marked with yellow signs to be followed in an anti-clockwise direction. Sometimes the markings are difficult to see, damaged or missing. A few paths are difficult to see.

North of the Tarbes-Tournay road, you will discover this magnificent tourist spot in the Coussan area. Recent improvements have made it a favourite spot for the people of Tarbes. A short walking route starting from Lac de l’Arrêt Darré, which can be completed in under 3 hours even with plenty of stops. You’ll enjoy a splendid view of the Pyrenees mountain range. This route is suitable for Nordic walking; allow 2 hours including warm-ups and stretches. The lake’s surroundings are an idyllic spot for a picnic and a nap. Sports facilities and equipment for repairing your bikes (road bike 81) are available, as well as a treetop route. A charming little restaurant completes the welcome at this site.

A pleasant, peaceful walk through woods and meadows, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. A route that alternates between footpaths, country lanes and small tarmac roads.

This short walk above Tournay (65) will allow you to gain a bit of height and admire the Pyrenees.

A lovely route through the hills above Tournay, passing the Castéra-Lanusse signposts, with a return via the bastide town of Tournay.

A pleasant, easy walk, mainly along country lanes. The walk starts in front of the former Abbey of Saint-Sever-de-Rustan.

A circular route that is divided equally between the plain and the ridge paths. A break is a must at the former Rustan Abbey in St Sever de Rustan. On a clear day, you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the Pyrenees.

A circular route through the countryside between two valleys starting from Peyrun and passing through the village of Sénac.

A lovely circular walk mainly through the woods. For lovers of roasted chestnuts, autumn is the perfect time for this walk.

The beauty of this route lies in its diversity: charming villages and churches, castles, chapels... Walkers will also appreciate the coolness of the river and the walk through the Hagède forest.

A walk steeped in local history. Starting at a 12th-century Cistercian abbey, a pleasant path leads to the 14th-century Château de Mauvezin de Gaston Phébus. Take a break on this rocky outcrop, which offers remarkable 360° views. The return to the abbey follows a downhill path through the woods.

Easy circular. Beautiful views of the Pyrenees. Hike on quiet roads. One section is on a dirt track.

Orignac has a rich history, as evidenced by the Castériou site, believed to be an ancient Roman fortified camp. The 12th-century church, built on a hillock and surrounded by a circular cemetery, indicates the existence of a defensive enclosure in the Middle Ages. A lignite mine, south of the village, was in operation until 1947. Animal fossils have been found there. These include mammals, the oldest from the Tertiary period, including the gracile hipparion, ancestor of the horse.
