Road access: from Castillon-en-Couserans, continue towards Sentein. After the hamlet of Lascoux, take the small road towards Balacet (D704), cross the village and continue towards Uchentein. Park at the side of the road at the viewpoint sign.
(S/E) Take the steep path for about fifteen minutes to reach the orientation table on the left, which offers a first glimpse of the panorama
(1) Continue along the path and, at the next intersection, turn right and head uphill. Pass by a barn. Follow the well-marked path until you reach the marble quarry.
(2) Take the path that runs alongside the old miners' house, leaving the path that descends to the right. The path winds its way up through the summer pasture. Pass in front of a restored orry and continue for about 50 metres.
(3) Take a sharp turn onto the path on the left, which offers a beautiful view of the 2,800m peak of Couserans. Follow this path to Col de l'Arraing with its shepherd's hut and sheep pen
(4) Go back a little to take the path that descends into the valley (aim for the beautiful fir tree). After the mountain pasture, enter the forest, pass a barrier and follow the path that descends towards the south-west and then turns south-east.
(5) At the T-junction, take the path on the right which descends steeply to Balacet.
(6) At the water troughs, follow the road (D704) to the left until you return to the starting point (S/E).
