A variation on the Croix de Buzy circular path, as a return walk.
It is an easy walk with a beautiful view of the Pyrenees. It starts on a gravel road and then follows a dirt track.
Little shade. A stream at the end of the route with a poorly defined path.
(S/E) Set off from the small car park (picnic area) at La Croix de Buzy and head due south.
(1) At the fork, carry straight on, ignoring the path on the right.
(2) Do not turn left but go straight on.
(3) At the fork in the road at the 497m mark, turn right then veer left along the Ruisseau de Tubès (poorly defined path) to reach a small road.
(4) Turn left.
(3) Continue straight ahead and retrace your steps in the opposite direction to return to the starting point (S/E).
This walk is not circular but a return route, to avoid the road and the village (easier to do with a dog).
The pretty village of Bescat.
This route is ideal for those who enjoy the Pyrenean foothills. It is not difficult and the scenery is beautiful.

I've also done three marathons, and this kind of training allows me to live normally. Before, I was a marathon runner and competitive mountain biker. Bye!

Hello, it is impossible to continue the circular from Bescat cemetery due to stray dogs around the farms (patous, border collies). This is a great shame for a public path. We do not recommend this route for walkers or cyclists.

Magnificent scenery
It goes up and down but nothing too difficult
Lack of information about the route

I had a heart attack a few months ago.
I used to go hiking in the mountains. Unfortunately, for the time being, my cardiologist advises me not to go above 1,500 metres and, above all, to ease back into climbing gradually.
This hike is easy and takes you straight onto a ridge. So you can enjoy the mountains without too much effort. Very pleasant. I recommend it
