Difficult
Departure from Lescun (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
A cross-border circular to discover a little-known area (Ibón de Acherito) from a very popular location (Cabanes d'Ansabère from Lescun). Magnificent landscapes, a varied route.
Hike published in Pyrénées Magazine in 1995 (without a map and with little detail on the descent).
Update: According to several hikers' reviews (see the associated forum), it would be preferable to do this route in reverse.

Difficult
Departure from Lescun (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
This is a long hike with a steady climb, taking you to some beautiful huts, with a water source, a lake in France and a lake in Spain. The elevation gain is significant, exceeding 1,200 metres.
The hike starts at the Lamareich car park next to La Borde de Trésarricq.
This is a difficult hike due to its length and the sense of direction required.

This loop offers changing landscapes, starting with pastures and gradually becoming rockier as you approach Pic d'Anie. Crossing the passes and cols will give you the opportunity to discover valleys that are very different from one another. Pic d'Anie is the highest mountain in the area and offers views of the French and Spanish Pyrenees.
