Lac de Gaube walks
Gaube lake and Oulettes de Gaube refuge
Departing from Le Pont d'Espagne, this moderately demanding hike will take you into the Pyrenees National Park to discover Lac de Gaube and the Oulettes de Gaube refuge, from where you can admire the Vignemale, the highest peak in the Pyrenees at 3298m. If you're lucky, you might even spot some marmots.
The Gaube, Aratille and Marcadau valleys
A 24 km loop to discover between lakes, mountain streams, peaks, mountain pines and wildlife.
Lac du Chabarrou starting from Pont d'Espagne
I suggest you discover the beautiful and uncrowded Lac du Chabarrou, at an altitude of 2,300 m. An interesting alternative to the very popular hike to the Oulettes de Gaube refuge. Access is challenging. Don't forget to admire the Pont d'Espagne (a very popular tourist site) before or after your hike.
3 days in the Central Pyrenees Park from Cauterets
Explore the Pyrenees National Park (central section) with a trip to Spain, lakes and mountain passes at an altitude of 2,600 metres.
With an average elevation gain of ± 1,230 m and a distance of 17 km per day, this trip is, all in all, quite strenuous.
Please take into account the cumulative elevation gain and the distance to be covered.
The trip takes place between 1000 m and 2655 m altitude.
The start of this route is accessible by public transport (coaches and shuttle bus from Cauterets in summer).
From the Refuge Wallon to Cauterets via the Col d'Arratille and the Col des Mulets
This circular is best done from mid-June until the first cold spells.
This isthe third and fairly longday of a three-day route in the Central Pyrenees National Park.
In case of bad weather or unforeseen circumstances, it is possible to shorten the route by descending directly from the (1) to the (8).
Pont d'Espagne - Bayssellance Refuge
Approach walk starting from Pont d'Espagne, passing by the magnificent Lac de Gaube, the Oulettes de Gaube and the refuge of the same name. The stage continues with a steeper climb to the Lacs d'Arraillé, then the Hourquette d'Ossoue pass before descending to the Refuge de Bayssellance.
Lac de Gaube - Cabane des Tousaus
Second stage of the four-day adventure from Cauterets to Luz-Saint-Sauveur via Petit Vignemale and Gavarnie. It can be done in one day, but I think it would be more enjoyable to split it into two days to take the time to appreciate the magnificent scenery!
