A lovely little peak to climb when you have an hour to spare. Very accessible, it offers a beautiful 360° view of the Ariège peaks, from the Tabe Massif to the Dent d’Orlu and the Pic de Tarbésou.
Park in the Col du Chioula car park, along the D613.
(S/E) Follow the road south-west. When it turns left, take a white track straight ahead and climb towards the summit.
(1) When the track turns right, continue straight on along a wide dirt track that climbs up the Chioula ridge. Keep heading in this direction until you reach the summit (orientation table).
(2) Descend via the same route to the pass (S/E).
There are no water sources or shelters on this route, but there is a restaurant 300 m east of the pass.

An easily accessible path leading to a beautiful viewpoint. We did a circular route so we wouldn’t have to come back the same way, including a stretch through the woods.
