A beautiful hike, but be sure to follow the yellow markings, especially in the forest after passing the waterfall.

The first part of the hike was easy and very pleasant, until we reached the waterfall, which was ultimately not very interesting as it could only be seen from above, unless you wanted to climb down through the brambles (and then climb back up again, of course).
Then the trail on the app remained at the bottom of the slope, while the marked trail was higher up and eventually led to a pile of trees and branches, making it impossible to pass. I had to climb back up to catch up with the yellow markings, and that's when the difficulties began. There was a steep incline and lots of rocks, making it difficult to progress. It took me almost 30 to 45 minutes longer than expected to complete this hike. This second part is of very limited interest except for those who enjoy challenging hikes.
You need to be well equipped with sturdy footwear, as some sections after the waterfall are wet and even muddy.

A very pleasant, easy walk on the first part until you cross the stream. A little more challenging after that in the woods. Very well signposted. I recommend it, and it's well sheltered in the forest

Follow the yellow markings carefully and do not rely on the Visorando trail.
The first part is a pleasant walk until the first real climb
What might seem like a stroll requires some caution after the waterfall, as some sections are a bit tricky, especially if the trail is wet.
The waterfall is of limited interest as it is difficult to descend downstream to the foot, but the section above upstream is very pretty

After the second torrent, do not miss the path that immediately descends to the right

A very pleasant hike with a wide variety of landscapes. Be careful when passing through the beech forest after the Magenta waterfall: the markings do not correspond to the route indicated in Visorando.

A very enjoyable hike that takes you through a variety of landscapes.
Be careful on the way back, as the app reports a discrepancy with the recorded route even though we stayed on the marked path.

A very beautiful hike, with a picnic outdoors in the sunshine.
We started on the flattest part, and we'll do it again starting from the other direction

A pleasant, short hike on the last day (takes about two hours), leaving plenty of time to relax in the baths and hammams of Bagnères de Bigorre in the afternoon... with few people around and no difficulty whatsoever. The stream accompanies us for most of the way, and the waterfall is our destination... the passage through the woods ends up getting a bit tedious towards the end, and I think it would be more useful to simply tell us to follow the yellow markings all the way, instead of sending us on a route that passes via a yellow cross (as Guitou de Bisca says), which is unusual to say the least, when the basic yellow markings simply continue a few dozen metres above the cross in question...why make things complicated when they can be simple?

the trail is very well marked throughout. I think it's recent, perhaps to avoid some large fallen trees
the elevation increases a little, but it remains an easy hike that can be done with children
discover the valley + birds + beautiful forest + pretty hamlets

After the waterfall, pay attention to the markings; do not always follow the main path.

The trail was very well marked... until the waterfall. A kilometre further on, in the woods (where some people had fallen), there was a yellow cross and a mark underneath it with arms outstretched... this was not the right path! We went down through the woods and were (very warmly) welcomed by locals who were not surprised to see us arrive. We were clearly not the first or the last! They told us that the right path was above the cross. But there was no sign to indicate this and we were tempted not to climb up. The signposting needs to be reviewed at this point. Thank you on behalf of those who will take this beautiful hike.

Perfect course, not many people. The wooded section was very nice because it was very hot. Pleasant and enjoyable

Hello,
We did this trail yesterday, 1 October 2023, on an exceptionally hot day.
There were no particular difficulties until we reached the waterfall, with beautiful scenery and a well-marked route that was pleasant to follow along the stream.
However, once you cross the bridge, you enter the woods. Strongly not recommended in wet weather, as the path is very narrow with a steep incline and a very steep slope on the right... be very careful where you put your feet... in addition, the markings are almost non-existent after about 600 metres due to trees and branches obstructing the path.
We had to descend through a fallow field, which was quite steep, to reach the D29 and the car park in Lesponne.
