We realised that it was possible to bypass most of the scree by crossing the bridge that leads to the Ledormeur refuge. Following the stream, you come to a second bridge that you have to cross; the path that winds its way up is not far away.

Well-marked trails and signposts at junctions; caution required on sections of the trail with scree, but no technical difficulties; the final climb up the switchbacks is gradual, so not too steep; chance to see izards up close at Pla de Labassa; you could vary the route by making a small loop on the way back via the Doumblas waterfall (adding 15-25 minutes) and then to the footbridge at the end of Lake Suyen, returning to the car park via the left bank (tested; an area where you have to hold on but no major difficulties);

a pleasant hike, very busy at the beginning, then the trail climbs and you find yourself almost alone.

The path is almost always straight, so it's easy to find your way.

However, there are scree slopes almost all the way along the route, which can be a bit tiring, especially on the way down.

We spotted a chamois.

A beautiful hike with no difficulty but several rocky sections, offering views of three lakes and a pretty waterfall at the junction with the Larribet refuge. The lower part of the route is quite busy with people swimming in Lake Suyen. Higher up, the Labassa plateau is very pleasant. Next, the 2 km zigzag climb to the Rémoulis lakes is rather monotonous but offers a beautiful view of the valley behind. Surrounded by rocks, the two lakes are emerald blue. Along the way, you'll see marmots and several chamois. The trail continues towards the Port de la Peyre St-Martin with a descent to Campoplano (Spain). According to hikers I met, this easy continuation is worth the effort, with a nice place to camp at the end. I haven't tried it myself.

There were lots of people in the car park, but after a 30-minute climb through the pine forest, leaving Lake Suyen on our right, the walk continued peacefully along the uphill path towards the Labassa plateau, continuing for another 30 minutes to the lakes. On our return at 6pm, we came across marmots and a dozen or so izards calmly coming down to drink from the Arrens

A very beautiful hike, not very busy despite being a crossing point for many other routes. Very accessible walk, without any difficulties (but be careful on the scree slope when descending to the lake). You can stop for a picnic by the lakes. The return journey can be made via the nearby waterfall.

No difficulty on this very rocky, well-marked trail. The descent to the lake may seem complicated to "walkers". Only recommendation: wear suitable footwear to protect your feet from the rocks that litter certain sections of the trail.

The best thing would have been to propose the entire hike with this description. Then you could have easily added the photos.
It's not too late to do so, by clicking on the 'hikes' tab and then 'suggest a route'.
Kind regards

Port de la Peyre
Hello, As someone from the Pyrenees who knows the Hautes-Pyrénées well, on 10 October 2017 I did the hike called "Les Lacs de Rémoulis" (The Lakes of Rémoulis). Below are my comments on the information sheet
The hike should be called "Port de la Peyre-Saint-Martin" and not Les Lacs de Rémoulis

The duration is 5 hours 20 minutes round trip, and the elevation gain given (757 m) applies if you go all the way to the Port.
The starting point (Maison du Parc) is at 1,470 m, not 1,398 m. The Port de la Peyre-Saint-Martin is at 2,295 m. It takes 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours to reach Lac de Rémoulis, not 3 hours. Between the starting point and Lad du Rémoulis, there is an elevation gain of 549 m; you are halfway to the port. The total distance is 18 km (instead of the 12.48 km stated).
I suggest the following information sheet

Port de la Peyre-Saint-Martin, via the Lacs de Rémoulis
Hike suggested by Domidil

On leaving Arrens Marsous, take the D105 towards Lac du Tech; continue to the old park house at the foot of the Bedout fir forest (1470 m). The trail starts to the left of the house and enters the fir forest via a winding path over scree. About twenty minutes later, you will reach Lac de Suyen (1536m). Continue along the path on the left, passing Labassa (1731m), until you reach a fork. Keep left, as the right-hand path leads to the Ledormeur refuge. I was lucky enough to see a herd of chamois at Labassa. Note that you can see the Refuge, but you have to look carefully as it blends in very well with the landscape. Also note that in the same direction there is a view of the Doumblas waterfall. The path over scree then climbs quite steeply in hairpin bends, then descends more easily towards the Rémoulis lakes (2019 m), which can be reached in 1.5 to 2 hours. The trail then continues towards Port de la Peyre-St-Martin, which you will reach in about 1.5 hours. It is worth descending on the other side of the port (about 100 m) to see the lakes on the Spanish side.
Return via the same route
Duration: 5.5 hours Difficulty: Distance: 18 km Return to starting point
Means of transport: On foot Elevation gain: 755 m
Regions: Pyrenees, Central Pyrenees Highest point: 2,295 m
Municipality: Arrens-Marsous (65400)
lowest point: 1,470 m
PS: how to send you photos
Thank you

... one important caveat:
... when you leave the park house ... the Rémoulis lakes are not indicated on the yellow directional signs ... only the direction of the Col de la Peyre St Martin is shown, along with others ...
... and as you climb ... still nothing!
