Access via Ax-Les-Thermes, Ascou, La Forge. In the bend, park in the car park on the left.
(S/E) With your back to the car park, take the road opposite which descends towards the campsite (GR®107variant). Take the bridge over the Lauze.
(1) At the end of the bridge, there are two options:
- Continue along the road and, at the junction at point 9, turn left at the hairpin bend to follow the La Bassugue forest road.
- As shown on the map, take the shortcut on the left which climbs steeply (35%) through the forest.
(2) Continue along the forest road (to the left if you took the shortcut, straight ahead if not). After about 150 m, stay on the forest road and leave theGR®107on your right.
(3) At a fork, keep right and continue on the forest road through the woods. This will take you to the Poêle à Frire car park.
(4) Descend towards the stream, cross it and immediately turn left to cross the Ruisseau de Cabane Longue. Then follow the path that climbs into the forest. The GPS track deviates from the IGN map but is consistent with the OSM map; there is only one path, so there is no risk of error.
(5) When you leave the forest, continue right on the ridge (south-southeast then south) to an unnamed pass.
(6) Take the path that climbs straight up (south-southwest) towards the summit. From here, it is best to put away your walking poles, as they become cumbersome and even dangerous because you need to use your hands from time to time.
(7) Cross a final rocky passage and reach the summit.
(8) Descend via the same route you took to ascend to point (2).
(2) Here, there are two options:
- Take the steep shortcut on the right.
- As marked on the map, continue straight ahead on the forest road.
(9) Take the hairpin turn to the right. Further on, walk along the lake on your left.
(1) Cross the Lauze and climb up to the car park (S/E).
