Cazaunous walks

This walk at the foot of the Pic du Gar takes you through the small villages of the Comminges region surrounding ‘Lou Calem’ (the bare mountain): Moncaup, Arguenos and Cazaunous.

A very beautiful hike from the Col des Ares. The route remains shaded all the way to the Cabane du Pic du Gar. Classified as a difficult hike due to the elevation gain, but there are no technical difficulties.

This hike, which has no major difficulties, will be great fun to do in autumn in the midst of an explosion of colour. You'll discover superb beech forests, impressive pidgeon hunting huts, a beautiful view of the Pic du Cagire, the Garonne valley and the first Pyrenean peaks dominating the Barousse.

A beautiful line hike, which requires you to leave a vehicle at the finish beforehand. From the village of Razecueillé, the route takes you directly to the Pic de Paloumère, offering magnificent views of the Piedmont to the north and the highest peaks to the south, east and west. The route to the finish is very varied: forestry paths, ridges, old paths that are a little forgotten and therefore poorly marked, beech forests frequented mainly by wild boar and roe deer.

This hike starts at the unusual Miègecoste Chapel, follows a discovery trail with the ruins of a watchtower, and continues on a large loop around the heights of Aspet. It is one of the most beautiful vantage points for admiring the Pic de Cagire, the "lord of Comminges".

This looping route around the Pic du Gar and Pic de Cagire from the small village of Bezins takes you right up close to the impressive limestone cliffs and gives the Pic du Gar, which is less than 2,000 m high, an air of grandeur. Crossing the beech forest provides a shady route, with beautiful views over the valley. Access to the Pic de Cagire via the north-facing slope offers views over the plain and, in fine weather, spectacular views of the Pyrenees from the summit. This view can still be enjoyed along the ridge route.This hike can be done over two days, with an overnight stay in a hut or bivouac.Gpx trail recommended.

Magnificent ascent of the Pic du Gar via the Col de Teyech. Superb views of the surrounding valleys. A challenging hike with a lot of elevation gain but no technical difficulty.

Starting from the Col de Menté, this easy hike takes you on a circular route at the foot of the Cagire and very close to the Col du Pas de l'Âne.

This hike allows you to reach the Pic de Cagire in a morning, offering a 360° view between the plain and the highest peaks of the Pyrenees. 07/01/2024: Hiking prohibited to the public from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025 by municipal decree (from Pic de L'Escalette towards Pas de l'Âne via the ridges located in the commune of Boutx). This hike is strongly discouraged in winter due to its dangerous nature, particularly between the summit of Les Parets and Col du Pas de l'Âne! See practical information.

A very pleasant circular with autumn colours. Only to be attempted in good weather. Splendid 360° view from the Pic d'Escalette over the surrounding peaks. Feasible in winter with good snow conditions but classified as difficult with frozen ground.

A beautiful hike that is accessible to families as it is fairly short. It offers magnificent views of the Pyrenees and ends in a rather rocky environment. The views are quite dizzying for a hike of this length, but you do get to reach a peak!

A beautiful hike with no major difficulties, most of which takes place under the trees. At the summit of Tuc de Pan (1,724 m), you will discover an exceptional panorama of the Garonne valley as it enters France, as well as the Maladeta Massif, among other sights.

A wonderful discovery in the Haut-Garonne region, accessible to all from the Mourtis resort, with fabulous views all along the route.

A circular walk with no real difficulty apart from the length of the route in the upper Garonne valley between Saint-Béat and Fos, passing through the villages of Arlos, Argut-dessous and Lez. Route revised in May 2022 after walking it a second time and extending the end with a short circular route to pass through the heart of the village of St-Béat.

Siradan, Salechan, Thèbe. A short walk in the forest, in the shade if it's sunny and sheltered if it rains.

A lovely walk in a wooded area, suitable all year round except during periods of heavy rain. A family hike that can be done as a round trip from Barbazan to the Refuge Saint-Martin. Reminder: the route is mainly through woodland.

An easy hike through beech forests, including the winner of the 2014 "Remarkable Trees" competition, and along forest roads. View of Pic de Burat on the way up and Pic du Gar on the way down. Picnic possible at the Contraire hut halfway along the route.

If you enjoy spotting chamois, this route will be right up your street. It offers a splendid view of Aneto and the Luchonnais peaks.

This hike in the Haut Comminges is pleasant, with little elevation gain, no difficulty and well marked. Most of the route is in the woods, so it is particularly recommended in summer or autumn. In addition, if you want to take a break, there is a picnic table at the Col de Lauach.

This pretty loop was the mountain biking training ground of our local champion Élodie, French junior champion in 2001 and 2002. On foot, you will have time to enjoy this route, which will take you to viewpoints overlooking the valley, where you may be lucky enough to spot numerous deer in this area.

A very pretty early winter circuit to be done on foot or snowshoes depending on the snow conditions. Its good south-eastern exposure allows you to walk in the sun, which is appreciated in cold weather. A very picturesque hike through the village, beautiful beech forests and the sumptuous panorama from the summit.
