Fos walks

A beautiful hike with no major difficulties, most of which takes place under the trees. At the summit of Tuc de Pan (1,724 m), you will discover an exceptional panorama of the Garonne valley as it enters France, as well as the Maladeta Massif, among other sights.

The Pic du Crabère is a must-see summit forming a tripoint between Haute-Garonne, Ariège and Spain. It offers a superb view of the entire Maladeta glacier and the highest peaks in Spain, including the king of the Pyrenees: Aneto! A fairly long hike, but without any technical difficulty, and with a well-marked and easy-to-follow path.

A beautiful hike that is accessible to families as it is fairly short. It offers magnificent views of the Pyrenees and ends in a rather rocky environment. The views are quite dizzying for a hike of this length, but you do get to reach a peak!

This hike allows you to reach the Pic de Cagire in a morning, offering a 360° view between the plain and the highest peaks of the Pyrenees. 07/01/2024: Hiking prohibited to the public from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025 by municipal decree (from Pic de L'Escalette towards Pas de l'Âne via the ridges located in the commune of Boutx). This hike is strongly discouraged in winter due to its dangerous nature, particularly between the summit of Les Parets and Col du Pas de l'Âne! See practical information.

A very pleasant circular with autumn colours. Only to be attempted in good weather. Splendid 360° view from the Pic d'Escalette over the surrounding peaks. Feasible in winter with good snow conditions but classified as difficult with frozen ground.

Starting from the Col de Menté, this easy hike takes you on a circular route at the foot of the Cagire and very close to the Col du Pas de l'Âne.

A circular walk with no real difficulty apart from the length of the route in the upper Garonne valley between Saint-Béat and Fos, passing through the villages of Arlos, Argut-dessous and Lez. Route revised in May 2022 after walking it a second time and extending the end with a short circular route to pass through the heart of the village of St-Béat.

This looping route around the Pic du Gar and Pic de Cagire from the small village of Bezins takes you right up close to the impressive limestone cliffs and gives the Pic du Gar, which is less than 2,000 m high, an air of grandeur. Crossing the beech forest provides a shady route, with beautiful views over the valley. Access to the Pic de Cagire via the north-facing slope offers views over the plain and, in fine weather, spectacular views of the Pyrenees from the summit. This view can still be enjoyed along the ridge route.This hike can be done over two days, with an overnight stay in a hut or bivouac.Gpx trail recommended.

Magnificent ascent of the Pic du Gar via the Col de Teyech. Superb views of the surrounding valleys. A challenging hike with a lot of elevation gain but no technical difficulty.

An easy hike through beech forests, including the winner of the 2014 "Remarkable Trees" competition, and along forest roads. View of Pic de Burat on the way up and Pic du Gar on the way down. Picnic possible at the Contraire hut halfway along the route.

This pretty loop was the mountain biking training ground of our local champion Élodie, French junior champion in 2001 and 2002. On foot, you will have time to enjoy this route, which will take you to viewpoints overlooking the valley, where you may be lucky enough to spot numerous deer in this area.

This magnificent walk above Baren allows you to discover the mountain pastures, deciduous forests and a spectacular panorama of the legendary 3,000-metre peaks of the Central Pyrenees: Anéto, Maladeta, Maupas, Crabioules, Perdiguère, Posets, Quayrat, Lézat, Gougs Blancs, Spijeoles, Schrader... The Cabane de la Plagnette and its surroundings, a "true paradise for hikers", provide a pleasant approach for climbing Burat and the border peaks.

This easy hike will allow you to discover Artigue, a charming village in the Luchonnais region, beautiful forests and a superb panorama of Bagnères-de-Luchon surrounded by its 3000m peaks, all on very different paths and trails.

Tour of the barns and huts of Artigue, making a large circular loop through the summer pastures via the PR® and GR®10 trails. Pass through Plan de Montmajou and the border markers to Col des Taons de Bacanère. The return journey takes you past two huts and the Cigalère State Forest. A very pleasant hike in the gentle autumn sunshine with beautiful views of the peaks and 3,000-metre summits of the Luchonnais, sometimes whitened by the first snows.

A beautiful line hike, which requires you to leave a vehicle at the finish beforehand. From the village of Razecueillé, the route takes you directly to the Pic de Paloumère, offering magnificent views of the Piedmont to the north and the highest peaks to the south, east and west. The route to the finish is very varied: forestry paths, ridges, old paths that are a little forgotten and therefore poorly marked, beech forests frequented mainly by wild boar and roe deer.

The hike is suitable in all seasons. If there is snow, snowshoes may be necessary (depending on the depth).

The summit offers a beautiful panorama. The route takes you through the forest to the Col de l'Artigue, then gently climbs to the summit of Puech.

The hike starts from the car park near the "Sauth deth Pish" waterfall, after 9 km on a tarmac track. After seeing the pretty waterfall on the left as you arrive, the route starts by heading towards the bottom of the valley. There is a first, slightly steep climb through the woods, then you come out into a treeless area. The difficulty lies not in the elevation gain, but in the section between the end of the forest and the bridge that takes you to the other side, which runs along the side of the mountain on a fairly narrow path. However, if you take care, it's easy to navigate. You then come out onto a tarmac track for the descent, which is admittedly less pleasant and has a few cars passing by, but I wouldn't have done it the other way round.

Siradan, Salechan, Thèbe. A short walk in the forest, in the shade if it's sunny and sheltered if it rains.
