Grum, Andreyt and Laudège ridges

This is a short hike with little elevation gain and no difficulty in clear weather. The view from the ridges of all the surrounding peaks and villages is magnificent all along the way. From the Gros huts, the return trip along the trail is very easy.

On leaving Laruns, take the D 918 towards Eaux-Bonnes, then Gourette. Continue to the Col d'Aubisque (1,709 m) and park in the car park.

(S) From the car park, take the path to the left of the bar heading north-west. Further on, the path turns north, climbs the Grum ridge and goes around the Soum de Grum on the left to reach the Col de Noulatte (1,832 m).

(2) Take the path that branches off to the right towards the north-east, then follow the path heading east through the pastures to the Gros huts (1,570 m).

(3) Take the track opposite heading east, which then winds its way up to the pass (1,751 m) on the Laudège ridge, where you join theGRP® Tour de la Vallée d'Ossau.

(4) Follow it straight ahead until the next bend.

(5) Leave theGRP® on your left and continue along the track to the Col d'Aubisque and the car park (S/E).

This hike is not worth doing. The view from the ridges is pleasant, but not wild: you can see the road climbing up and Laruns. Half of the hike is on a never-ending track, in a landscape that is pleasant but monotonous.
There is no shade.
This hike is not suitable for children; it's the best way to put them off hiking!
The ridge is not at all vertiginous, and there are no difficulties.

Wonderful!
No difficulties.
Can be done in the opposite direction to descend the slope and climb the ridge.
No shade.
I had a great time, thank you for sharing. I didn't know the area, I'm delighted!

Very beautiful hike, although a bit monotonous towards the end.
Those who are afraid of heights may feel a little uncomfortable during the first hour. The ridge is a little steep on one side, but the slope is much gentler on the other. One person in my group was prone to vertigo and felt uncomfortable at first. But honestly, it's worth a look!

A magnificent hike that isn't too difficult, except for those who are afraid of heights.
The first part is a wide track... However, the ridge can be impressive.

A lovely hike, part of which is on a track suitable for vehicles. The climb is gentle. Very pretty views of all the surrounding mountains. Suitable for children aged around ten, but they need to be supervised on the slightly steep ridge path.

a lovely little end-of-season circuit under beautiful October sunshine and mild temperatures. After stopping for lunch at point 4, we climbed back up towards Soum de Grum and descended on the other side (BE CAREFUL, this isn't as easy as it looks for beginners) to rejoin the path we took on the way up

A beautiful family hike with stunning views depending on the direction you face. No major difficulties, although the return journey is a little long. Don't forget to stop at point 1 of the climb to Soum de Grum for a 360° panoramic view.

I only give the route 4 stars because we were caught in the clouds, so we didn't get any breathtaking views! The trail is still very pretty and easy, but the return trip is a bit long, so we cut it short at point 4 to get back to point 1.

Hike done in beautiful snow and bright sunshine, with GPS tracking but the markers are visible.
Wow, superb!
I hesitated to put on my snowshoes at the start, but I went for it and have no regrets But with more snow, snowshoes are a must.
I didn't see anyone else on a Sunday morning in early December

Follow the directions. The first part is very beautiful. The second part on the pasture side is not interesting. I recommend doing it in reverse to finish on the ridge

Personally, I wouldn't call this a family hike, because the return trip is long, long, long... That said, it's magnificent, and we added the climb to Soum to fill ourselves up again and again with these breathtaking landscapes. It's easy to follow the signs, except when you come down from the Soum, where the marked path goes down the hillside to the left, but most walkers follow the trail straight up the slope opposite. It's up to you which way you go. We took the marked path, even though the sign is only visible once you're well on your way, as it's well hidden under the grass!
