The route is recommended in a north-south direction, from Sarrance to Bedous, as it is more scenic than the reverse.
(S) Leaving Sarrance station, head down the small road leading towards the Gave, as far as the bridge over it but without crossing it.
(1) Just before the bridge, a small road branches off to the left, running alongside the Gave d’Aspe, which flows far below. Follow this road; after a few houses, it becomes a very well-marked path, which you simply need to follow carefully.
This path climbs slightly from time to time and then descends again, in order to pass over areas of steep slopes. Thanks to low stone walls and, in one place, a handrail, walkers feel safe here.
(2) After about an hour’s walk, you’ll reach the N134. You’ll then need to walk along this road (keeping to the right) very carefully. Given the condition of the verges, it is recommended that you walk on the right-hand side of the main road. This tricky stretch is 200 metres long.
(3) At the next junction, you can cross the N134 , taking great care (as there is heavy, fast-moving traffic), to join the road towards Lourdios-Ichère, which passes under the railway line and heads uphill. This time, stay on the left-hand side.
(4) At the hairpin bend in the road, a tarmac path branches off to the left (or rather straight ahead); take this path (signposted). The route heads due south. From here, the path is fairly wide and runs through woodland.
After about an hour’s walk, the path becomes a narrow tarmac track, winding its way through the meadows as the landscape opens up: little by little, you’ll discover the Vallon de Bedous and the peaks overlooking it.
(5) At every junction with paths or minor roads, turn left. You are approaching the village of Osse-en-Aspe (but you will not enter it).
(6) Just past a farm, you’ll join the road linking Bedous to Osse; follow it to the left.
(7) At the next junction, the sign for Bedous is clear (to the right). You’ll cross over the river, then cross the level crossing (unless, of course, the light is flashing or the barriers are down).
(8) One metre after the level crossing, a path opens up on the right (you’ll need to go through a metal gate), which leads directly to your destination.
(E) This brings you to Bedous station.
