Mailh Massibé is a magnificent vantage point offering views stretching from the Pic du Midi de Bigorre to the Atlantic, taking in all the peaks of Béarn and the Basque Country.
Although the approach to this summit is a little long, it is easy to reach and presents no particular difficulties in the absence of snow or fog.

The Way of St James (Voie d’Arles - GR® 653) offers a lovely, easy and shaded route in the Aspe Valley, winding through gorges and sun-drenched valleys. We do not suggest this as a circular route here, as the train (TER line 55) allows you to return easily to your starting point.The route is suitable for all seasons; however, avoid wet periods!
Warning (2025): following the severe flooding in the Aspe Valley in September 2024, some sections of the path may be damaged. Check before setting off.

Let's make the most of it!
