Departure from Laruns (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
This round trip hike requires a fairly good level of fitness. Long distance and steep gradient.
Returning via Lake Artouste greatly reduces the difficulty.
This hike is magnificent. Throughout the climb, you will have the high peaks in your sights.
The trails are varied: you will cross forests, summer pastures with herds of cattle, streams and, early in the morning, you may even see some izards (a type of wild goat).

Departure from Arrens-Marsous (Hautes-Pyrénées)
A circular hike linking the Val d'Azun to Lake Artouste, skirting the Pic de Batbielh. Mountain atmosphere with Lake Migouélou, the scree slopes of the Col de la Lie and the Larribet refuge, but also more touristy near the little train of Artouste. A demanding route, which can be completed in a day and a half or two days, with magnificent landscapes.
