Perched on the rocky outcrop of Mont Sacon, it faces Mount Gert, whose south-western face features a remarkable cliff. The cliffs of Troubat are well-known and highly regarded by climbing enthusiasts, a must-visit for any climber exploring the Pyrenees. As you follow this limestone ridge, you will also come across an old quarry. Enjoy the restorative tranquillity of Lake Mauléon-Barousse before returning to the starting point.

Departure from Razecueillé (Haute-Garonne)
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.
