A beautiful, fairly easy hike that follows part of the route I had already done several times.
The circular route starting from the Col de Belein is beautiful, with a stunning 180° view.

A very pleasant short hike with magnificent views. The trail is well marked with signs reading "chemin des marbriers" (marble workers' path), as the route passes by an abandoned marble quarry. It's a shame that the route suggested by the app doesn't exactly match the one marked on the ground for the first part.

A beautiful walk offering some stunning views of the ridges and valleys. However, we were disappointed to find that the orientation table was broken, and on the way back, between the Col de Jourdas and the Col de Belein, a large tree was blocking the path and had not been cleared by the relevant authorities. Furthermore, we couldn't find the cemetery, so we parked in the village. Finally, at the start, be careful not to take the quarrymen's path, which branches off to the right at the fork marked at point 1.

Hello, everyone,

A very nice route, with beautiful scenery in early spring on a sunny day.
There was a bit of confusion at the start.
I parked in the car park near the cemetery, even though the sign said "follow signs for St Lizier". This isn't correct because the St Lizier sign takes you down a small winding road. I had to turn around and ask for directions.
The sign says to turn left, but there are two roads on the left. I'm not sure what you mean by "forest track", as there are two ways to get to the first pass: either by following the sign for the orientation table along a tarmac road, or by taking a footpath at the end of a dead-end road marked "footpaths". I followed the "footpaths".

I enjoyed the orientation table, the superb setting at the Belein pass and the different views of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Magnificent! Thank you very much!

A very interesting route, but very busy because it is very close to Saint Girons. It is a victim of its own success. From the Col de Bélein, it seems easier to do in the opposite direction for beginners who find it difficult to descend... As for the orientation table, it has been damaged, probably by "people" who do not seem to value the common good... Regrettable...

Hello, everyone.
Today's hike took place in overcast weather, then at the Belein Pass we were in the clouds until we reached the Jourdas Pass, so today there were no panoramic views... To be repeated in clear weather!!!!!!!
