Departure from Laruns (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
The Pic de Larry is a wonderful winter destination for experienced walkers.
The ascent to the Refuge d’Ayous presents no particular difficulties.
The ascent of the Col de Larry, followed by the peak, is often undertaken off-trail, solo, and over fairly steep slopes. The view is well worth the effort!
The return route via the Ayous Lakes takes you through an enchanting landscape of forests, vast snow-covered expanses and frozen lakes, all under the constant, imposing watch of the giant of Ossau, the Pic du Midi.

Day two: return to Astún from the Pombie Refuge, via the Col and the Peyreget hut, then Lake Castérau and the Col des Moines. Compared to the first day, the elevation gains are a little steeper, with the final ascent covering nearly 520 m. The atmosphere is different: no ridges, but lakes and valleys!

The Camino de Santiago (or "Camino francés") leaves the mountains here and follows the Aragon valley towards the stopover town of Jaca. Between the two villages mentioned, the route is easy but picturesque, with beautiful views of the peaks and forests... and a convenient train to return to the starting point. The route can easily be done in reverse, which may or may not be convenient depending on train timetables. With a few adjustments at the start, the route can be done by mountain bike.
