Oô walks

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.

Not far from Bagnères-de-Luchon, there is a beautiful balcony walk offering magnificent views of the ridge on the border with Spain. Not to mention two very beautiful valleys and a few charming mountain villages, which hide architectural treasures that are well worth a visit.

A lovely walk gradually ascending towards the artificial Lac d'Oô and the large waterfalls that feed it.

On the trail of the GR10, the Granges d’Astau and Espingo Lake, via Lake Oô.

A short, easy circular, well shaded and suitable for families, with beautiful views of the valley and Lake Génos-Loudenvielle

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.

This medium-altitude hike offers a multitude of sumptuous views over the valleys to the west of Bagnères-de-Luchon: the One, Larboust and Oueil valleys. There is something to delight every hiker, not to mention the small, beautifully restored villages with their first-rate religious architectural heritage. A little bit of tarmac is quickly forgotten thanks to the beauty of the surrounding nature and landscapes.

A short hike to discover a small mountain village. A view of Bagnères-de-Luchon and its surroundings.

Starting from the centre of Loudenvielle, this lovely route offers exceptional views of Lake Génos while recounting the history of the town. It is not particularly difficult and can be enjoyed by the whole family, although it is best to choose a dry day as the stones can be slippery when wet.

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.

Une mise en jambe sympathique, à travers la forêt tout du long, pour découvrir la vallée. Plusieurs points particuliers, passerelle, tour, cascade et fontaine, émaillent le parcours, dont une surprenante Fontaine d'Amour qu'il ne faut pas rater (bien faire attention au panneau) pour commencer à comprendre l'histoire de la région.

A shady walk that takes in a splendid canyon and wonderful waterfalls.

Easy hike to the Lac de Bordères (Bareilles) via the Port de Pierrefite, with superb views of the Pyrenees. Moderator's warning as of 25/01/2021: Warning! In winter, the starting point at Port de Balès may be inaccessible by car. See the notice below dated 25/01/2021

A beautiful hike that can be done with the family and children who are used to walking, starting from the well-known Port de Balès (altitude 1755 m) (Tour de France cycling race). The summit of Mont Né (altitude 2,147 metres) offers beautiful views of the central Pyrenees and the magnificent Lac de Bordères or Lac de Bareilles. From Pic du Lion (altitude 2,102 metres), there is a safe aerial path along the Crête de la Coume du Lion. The cromlech at Port de Pierrefite is also worth noting.

Belvédère du Mont Né (Mont Né viewpoint) is a fitting name for this mountain, as the views you will discover throughout this hike are breathtaking. In good weather, this route does not present any major difficulties. What's more, you will start from Port de Balès, a famous stage of the Tour de France.

Starting from the Val Louron ski resort (65), this short, easy hike takes you up to the heights of the resort, through the Lapadé Forest. The hike can be done on foot or with snowshoes in winter. Several viewpoints along the route offer beautiful views of the valley.

This easy hike will allow you to discover Artigue, a charming village in the Luchonnais region, beautiful forests and a superb panorama of Bagnères-de-Luchon surrounded by its 3000m peaks, all on very different paths and trails.

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!

A very beautiful hike which, initially through the woods with informative signs, allows you to cover the elevation gain without even noticing. Ideal for children. Then the Clarabide Gorges with the path carved into the rock are magnificent and the reward is not far away.I would like to point out that, having done this hike again, the altitude figures given by the Visorando software are incorrect. The elevation gain is around 550 m.

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

Long circular loop for very good walkers. Pont du Prat - Clarabide Gorges - Refuge de la Soula - Lac de Caillauas and Lac de Pouchergues.

A very pretty early winter circuit to be done on foot or snowshoes depending on the snow conditions. Its good south-eastern exposure allows you to walk in the sun, which is appreciated in cold weather. A very picturesque hike through the village, beautiful beech forests and the sumptuous panorama from the summit.
