Le Tucou, Le Monné, Pic de Labassère
A lovely hike over the mountains from Bagnères-de-Bigorre.
This hike requires a minimum sense of direction, although there were many signposts on the day of my hike.
Warning
A VR indicates a difficult path between (12) and (14): forestry work has been carried out, causing considerable damage to the forest path. Take extra care and use the GPX track.

Pic de Montaigu loop from the Route forestière du Hourc
A fabulous viewpoint well ahead of the chain, with a classic climb but an off-trail descent facing south towards the Pic du Midi de Bigorre!The GPX track can be very useful after the peak. The section after (4) is reserved for experienced hikers.
Ascent of Hautacam from Geu
This is a physically demanding hike, reserved for experienced hikers or trail runners. The elevation gain is very significant over a relatively short distance. It is advisable to bring plenty of water and protection from the sun, as a significant part of the route is exposed. Protection from wind and rain is also strongly recommended.

A short walk to warm up, but not recommended in wet weather. Nice view from the top.

The Cabins of La Lit
In the footsteps of Georges Buisan, born in 1924 in Montréjeau (Haute-Garonne) and resident in Tarbes, he spent his childhood in Bigorre.
His interest in the mountains led him to spend several years researching shepherds' huts.
Georges Buisan has since passed away, but he leaves behind him, with this Courtaou de la Lit, which he restored over a period of thirty years, an original legacy and a powerful message.
Lac dets Plagnous
Lac dets Plagnous is a tiny lake above Lac d'Isaby. A little more difficult to access than the latter, it is neglected by hikers. However, it is very pleasant and makes you want to stay on its banks for a while.
