Park in the small hairpin car park before the village of Aulus-les-Bains on the road to Col de Latrape.
(S/E) From the hairpin bend, head south-east in the direction of the Cascade d'Ars.
This is a fairly easy section on a forest track with an elevation gain of about 200 m until you reach the junction of two tracks.
(1) Continue straight ahead to a junction of trails where you will rejoin theGR®10(red and white markings) coming from Aulus-les-Bains on the left.
(2) Continue straight ahead on theGR®10. Further on, at the junction, turn left (signposts). The track gradually ends and turns into a path just before the Pont d'Artigous.
(3) Cross the Rivière d'Ars via the bridge and continue on theGR®10. Climb gradually through the woods, and the waterfall will come into view. Further on, you will reach a junction.
(4) Take theGR®10on the left (or take the waterfall trail opposite. If you choose this option, be extremely careful as the trail is not well maintained and can be slippery when the waterfall is flowing strongly).
After several hairpin bends, you will arrive at thesecond waterfall (the most impressive) about a hundred metres further on.
(5) Be very careful when the water flow is strong
Take the Ars footbridge route, which is less than 1 km away. The climb is quite steep on thefirst section (be careful of snowmelt, which can make this section difficult).
Thesecond part is easier, on flat ground, before descending a few metres to reach the Ars footbridge.
(6) Retrace your steps back to the car park at Aulus-les-Bains to complete this fabulous discovery hike (S/E).
