Nothing to complain about in the description, I had few people on this last day before the start of the school year. Completed in 5 hours, very nice hike

Bring water. No shade. New GR10 trail is very well marked and easy. Impossible to stay at the summit because of sheep droppings and swarms of insects feasting on them! Once you descend about 20 metres, it's very nice.

Route completed at the end of July. Passage through the waterfall. More snow after the refuge. We encountered a bus full of Spanish tourists on the final climb. We don't know how 40 of them managed to stay on the ridge! Not to mention the falling rocks. Not recommended for young children as you sometimes have to use your hands. Otherwise, it takes 5 hours there and back without being very fit, starting at around 8 a.m. And it's so beautiful on a clear day, it's a real feast for the eyes!

A lovely walk, fairly busy, no water sources so bring enough with you, and no shade either.

A very beautiful walk with no difficulties other than its length and elevation gain. We followed the new GR 10 trail.
Due to the weather, we didn't do the final climb to the peak but stayed at Coume de Bourg and returned via the same path.
It is worth noting that it is possible to do the route via the old GR 10, which seems to be shorter according to hikers we met at Coume de Bourg.

It was nice and quiet, but unfortunately there was a sandstorm from the Sahara: the view was blocked, which was sad and disappointing.
I suppose otherwise the view is magnificent... Anyway, it was an easy, peaceful and relaxing walk (but that depends on each person's level), and I really want to write this because it's been bothering me: I think Superbagneres is really ugly. Seriously, what an eyesore in the landscape!
Otherwise, to relax after the hike back to the resort, I recommend a snack on the outdoor terrace of the restaurant, which was a former chapel (you can't miss La Croix!!). The view is also very nice.
There you go, I think I'll do it again when the first snow falls and the weather is clear, it must be beautiful. Thank you for the guide 🙏

A lovely walk, not too difficult.
Pretty, but I can't judge it fully as I did the round trip in the clouds. However, the pass was clear, so at the peak I enjoyed a magnificent view of a sea of clouds in the sunshine with the mountain range emerging in the distance.
In mid-July, the trail is easy.
The trail is a little sloping, leaning, after 3, on the gentle descent, to be avoided in the rain.
IGN has updated its maps, and the new GR10 route is clearly marked.
However, your route deviates from it 500 metres before point 4, passing 150 metres south of the marked trail.
The peak is estimated to take 2 hours according to a sign in Superbagnère, which may be optimistic; the round trip took me 5 hours.
Thank you for this route.

Hello, thank you for sharing this route. I didn't use the description, only the route. At one point, I didn't understand because the route didn't match the route, but I hadn't read the reviews, mea culpa! Otherwise, it's impossible to get lost as the route is obvious. The route is completely open and in full sun, so take precautions. There were five other hikers (3+2).

Go ahead, follow the new route and return via the old route (which is also the most commonly used route...).

Admittedly a little ironic, I agree, but I wanted to emphasise the words used in this case, 'wrong' and 'disappointing', which are perhaps a little excessive, but you can't please everyone.
Have a good day.

Hello,

I'm sorry!!! I thought I had left a message to improve things, not to offer facile criticism, but reading your reply, I sense a certain misplaced irony? Are we invited to give our opinion on a hike, or just say what you want to hear, because then there would be no point. There is a difference between saying in the description, "when you reach the pass, turn right along the mountainside," and saying, "turn right before reaching the pass, about 100 metres before it." Because there is open terrain, certainly, but there are also many tracks to the left and right everywhere! And above all, you can take more dangerous paths... My comment was just to correct this information, for the sake of other less experienced hikers who could get into difficulty.
My 4½ hours didn't require any praise or anything, but perhaps to readjust the time for better organisation of the day.
Should I understand that in future I should refrain from commenting?

Hello
Sorry to disappoint you, but saying it's wrong might be a bit much, since the route is the same one I took three years ago to climb the peak, and I got there without any trouble. Taking 50 metres before or after on completely open terrain to get to the same point doesn't change much... As for the walking time, it is provided by the Visorando software and, as you will have understood, it is an average. If you made the round trip in 4 hours 30 minutes, well done! That's a very good time, but perhaps many hikers do not have your champion's stamina and may even take more than 6 hours 40 minutes. The main thing is not to reach the summit in record time, but to get there.
Best regards

Estimated time 6 hours 40 minutes? It took 4 hours 30 minutes?
The directions for climbing to the peak were incorrect. You actually have to turn right just before reaching the pass, about 50 to 100 metres before... and follow the GR10 signs.
