Park in the church square in the village of Moncaup. There is a drinking water tap available in the square.
(S/E) Head for Rue du Col de Hô and follow it to the left.
(1) At the end of the street, take the path opposite which climbs gently up the northern slope of Mont Caubet.
(2) At the junction, take the wide track on the left which climbs gently to the summit of the Calem, known as Plan de Calem (866 m). There is a picnic table with a view over the village of Arguenos.
(3) After going round the Calem, take the path on the right signposted “Pic du Gar” (yellow markings). This path climbs steeply up to the Bardachine (1247 m).
(4) This is where the path leading up to the Pic du Gar starts: leave it to one side and head down to the right towards the Col du Hô along a wide track.
(5) Just after passing Pontet, leave the track and take a small path on the right which descends steeply at first; it is marked by a cairn. Continue straight on to the Col de Hô.
(6) You’ll recognise you’ve reached the pass by several large hunters’ lookouts. Walk past the first two lookouts to find a small, steep path on the right, which descends between two other lookouts, into the woods.
(7) Be careful, as the path is less clearly marked here: stick to the highest path on the left (avoid the path further to the right, which drops off steeply). Continue to follow the yellow markings straight ahead, sometimes passing through slightly tall grass, until you reach the D618 road at a bend.
(8) Go round the bend and look for a small path on the right, just after a low stone wall. This path leads down to the village of Moncaup. Head for the church square (S/E).
