Massif de Perdiguère walks
Gouffre and Ru d'Enfer
A shady walk that takes in a splendid canyon and wonderful waterfalls.
Espingo Lake
On the trail of the GR10, the Granges d’Astau and Espingo Lake, via Lake Oô.
Towards Lac d'Oô
A lovely walk gradually ascending towards the artificial Lac d'Oô and the large waterfalls that feed it.
Lac Vert loop via the Coume hut
This is a beautiful hike during which you will discover stunning waterfalls, a beautiful view of the Luchonnais region and, the highlight of the show, the green waters of the lake of the same name. However, due to its elevation, length and a few tricky sections, this route requires a good level of fitness.
Lake Caillauas
A very beautiful hike which, initially through the woods with explanatory panels, allows you to cover the elevation gain without even noticing. Then the Clarabide Gorges with the balcony path carved into the rock are magnificent. From the refuge to the lake, the landscape becomes more rocky. On arrival, there is a splendid view of the 3,000 m mountain range. I would say it is more difficult than very difficult, as recommended by Visorando
From Superbagnères to Pic du Céciré via the new route
Climbing the 2,404 metres of Céciré is always a great experience, as the view from the summit is breathtaking, but part ofthe GR® 10 route to reach it is very dangerous and prone to accidents. Fortunately, to continue enjoying this classic route, I suggest taking the new, saferGR® 10 route.
Cap des Arjoulents
Snowshoe hike starting from the village of Oô.
11 km of fun, through forests, past cabins and viewpoints.
This is a little-used route, ideal if you are looking for peace and quiet and want to enjoy nature. With a bit of luck, you may encounter a few deer who, like us, have come to enjoy the incomparable silence.
Clarabide Gorges - Upper lakes of the Louron Valley
Long circular loop for very good walkers.
Pont du Prat - Clarabide Gorges - Refuge de la Soula - Lac de Caillauas and Lac de Pouchergues.
Lake Pouchergue
A beautiful, long hike starting from Pont du Prat in Val Louron. For those who enjoy exercise and endurance, the variety of views along the route is sure to impress!
Granges d'Astau - Lac du Portillon
Starting from Les Granges d'Astau, there is a long climb with some steep sections, made more pleasant by the presence of several lakes. Lac d'Oô and its inn, and Lac d'Espingo in its magnificent setting are ideal places to stop for a break. After Lac du Saussat (pronounced Sa-ou-sat), the much smaller Lac de la Coume de l'Abesque marks the start of the steep, winding climb that leads to a plateau dotted with smooth rocks and small lakes, and then to the Jean Arlaud refuge.
On the Superbagnères ridge
A magnificent, easily accessible route on the Superbagnères ridge, offering exceptional views of all the peaks of the Luchonnais and the surrounding valleys.
Les Granges de Labach and Col de la Coume
A very pleasant circular route, mostly in the forest, with beautiful views of the Larboust Valley and the Val d'Astau.
Port de la Glère and Ibón de Gorgutes via the Hospice de France
A demanding hike through the Cirque de la Glère to the Port de la Glère, via the family-friendly Chemin de l’Impératrice. Magnificent views from the pass over Aneto and the Maladeta massif. Option to descend to Ibón de Gorgutes to cool off after the climb.
Lake Espingo - Granges d'Astau
A gentle descent after the exertions of the previous days. From the Col d’Espingo, the Lac d’Oô below accompanies us for a long while. Once at the stone bridge, don’t hesitate to make a short detour to the Auberge du Lac d’Oô, where you can enjoy the view of the great waterfall, which will help you forget, if only for a moment, the increasingly obvious and cruel shortage of water. The return to Les Granges d’Astau brings this getaway in one of the most beautiful spots in the Luchon area to a pleasant close.
Circular hike to Pic de Hourgade from Peyragudes
A magnificent, isolated peak approaching 3,000 m, offering a splendid panorama over the entire Luchon region. A long route with significant elevation gain, crossing torrents and passing high-altitude lakes. Requires excellent physical fitness.
Circular route between Les Granges de Labach and the Col de la Coume
A lovely, easy little walk from Les Granges de Labach. The route passes through the Col de la Coume, offering a pretty view of the Larboust valley, and on the other side, the Labach valley dominated by the Céciré. A few extra steps from the Col offer a splendid panorama of the Oô valley, dominated by the Spijeoles.
Lys Valley - Maupas Refuge
This first stage, which serves as an approach walk, is difficult. The climb is steep and sustained along the Torrent de Houradade up to the junction at the Cabane de la Coume. Continuing the route to reach the Cabane de Pratlong allows you to catch your breath a little before tackling the final stretch via the numerous tight hairpin bends leading to the pumping station and then to the Refuge du Maupas, where the warm welcome will quickly make you forget the day’s exertions.
Tusse de Montarqué from Les Granges d'Astau
A more demanding hike than it appears, passing by famous lakes in the Pyrenees: Lac d’Oô and its superb waterfall, Lac d’Espingo, Lac de Saussat and Lac du Portillon. The view from the summit of the Tusse de Montarqué is magnificent, set in a cirque surrounded by numerous 3,000-metre peaks, which may inspire ideas for future hikes.
Col de la Glère – Lac des Gourgoutes
Starting from the Jouéou valley, this high-mountain hike takes you to the magnificent Cirque de la Glère, whose slopes, furrowed by numerous small streams, are dominated by the ridge marking the border with Spain and the Pic du Sacroux. Once at the Col de la Glère, an easy descent on the Spanish side leads to the Lac des Gourgoutes. A little further on, on the shoulder of the Pic de la Glère, the view over the Aneto and the Maladeta massif is a wonderful reward.
Mont du Lys via the Serre des Cabales ridge
A very beautiful, quiet hike offering views of several waterfalls and a magnificent vista of the Cirque des Crabioules and its peaks over 3,000 m. However, the largely unmarked path and the significant gradient require a fair bit of fitness.
