Why Grand Tour? Because it's a must-see passage through the Ayous Refuge in a setting that is, how can I put it? Sublime...

Départ à Laruns (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
This winter version of the walk takes you through the stunning Cirque d’Anéou and its vast snow-covered expanses.But its main attraction lies in the approach to the giant of the Béarn, the Pic du Midi d’Ossau (2,884 m), via a circuit around and ascent of its little brother, the Pic Peyreget, which lies just a few hundred metres opposite it. At the summit of the Peyreget, you feel as though you could almost touch the ridges of the ‘Jean-Pierre’, as it is nicknamed by the locals.Covered in snow, this secluded route is challenging but truly exceptional!

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!

Départ à Villanúa (Huesca)
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.
