Departure from Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre (Hautes-Pyrénées)
A lovely mid-mountain hike through the lush forest of Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre (or Tres-Croutz or Crouts = Three Crosses in Bigourdan). The first quarter of the hike is a bit challenging, as it is steep. You then pass through the Aülhet and Artigue mountain pastures, before following the ridge westwards to the summit of Soum de la Génie Braque. Well known to locals, this route offers a guaranteed change of scenery!

On the forgotten trails of Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre No. 3
A challenging and demanding circular route above Serre Pourcou, across the mountainous plateaus and summer pastures of the Pyrenean foothills, and through the vast and impenetrable forest of Très Croutz, or the state-owned forest of Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre.
The diversity of the landscapes encountered never fails to impress the hiker...

On the forgotten paths of Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre No. 4
A beautiful view from the Pic de Miquéu (1,452 m) over the Saint-Pé Massif and the summer pastures, stretching as far as the peaks of the border range.
The route takes in several ancient paths not marked on maps, which adds to its appeal. On the way back, you’ll discover the remarkable site of Calihourc, with its sharp limestone pavement shaped like confessionals, celebrated and photographed by Abbé Abadie in his book *Le Sanglier du Picharrot*.

There are still many traces of this to be found.
