This beautiful hike in the Mounicou Valley (Soulcem) invites you to contemplate four little-visited lakes.
The goal of the day is to discover the four lakes of Picot! While the first two are rather unremarkable, the third and fourth have a charm that captivates you as soon as you discover them and rewards you for your efforts.

Please note: the approach walk along the road is the only part of the hike that is in the shade if you set off early enough in the morning. This is the only way to complete this loop. It may seem tedious, but the landscape is very beautiful.The hike can be classified as quite difficult. After the footbridge over the Ruisseau de la Coume de Varilhes, the path is not easy: steep, with steps, a paved scree slope, a ledge to cross, etc. But once you reach the top, you will be rewarded. Then the GR®T66 from the largest of the Étang de Fontagente lakes to the refuge is more of the same. This is definitely a mountain hike.
