Departure from Saint-Lary-Soulan (Hautes-Pyrénées)
The second stage of the Ténarèze, at the bottom of the Aure valley, runs alongside the Neste river through fields. In places, the path widens, suggesting the trace of the old drovers' road, particularly near the Nourde footbridge. A peaceful route that passes through several small rural villages set on a plain ideal for resting herds before the climb to the summer pastures.

A family-friendly hike consisting entirely of a descent. It’s (slightly) steep at the start, then you join an old road that used to lead to Les Granges de Lias and beyond. You’ll need to take a cable car or gondola lift up.
