A short, easy Sunday hike (500 m elevation gain) leading to Pic de Razels (1,600 m) with a magnificent 360° view. After a winding climb, you reach the ridge, which you follow to the left through a pretty wood to the peak. Lovely views all along the way.

A very pleasant 3-hour round trip, with a half-hour climb through ferns that is a little steep. The rest of the route alternates between short climbs and descents, mainly through the forest. The summit of Pic de Razels is the ideal spot for a picnic, with superb 360° views!

At this time of year, I find it more pleasant to walk along the peaks of the summer pastures, to the right of the white rock, rather than to the left in the forest.
The first peak is marked by a large cairn, with a beautiful view of the peaks of the High Pyrenees.

This hike is rather disappointing due to an uninteresting stretch through the forest between Roc Blanc and Pic de Razels. It is therefore preferable to head east (to the right) from Roc Blanc and climb up to Pech de Thermes or follow the ridge to Sarrat de la Pelade. The views there are completely unobstructed over the Pyrenees.

Contrary to what the guidebook says, there isn't a great view along the entire route. There is indeed a very beautiful view at the peak and, to a lesser extent, during the initial climb and final descent. But the entire section along the ridge is in the forest with no view.
The markings are very sparse in the forest and there are often several possible paths. The topology helps to guide you, but the best guide is the fence on the left on the way there and on the right on the way back.

This hike begins with a beautiful zigzag climb. Once you reach Roc Blanc on the ridge, turn left onto a slight incline before a final short climb to reach Pic de Razel. There, you will be rewarded with a magnificent 360-degree view, perfect for a picnic. The trail is very reliable and the crossing through the woods on the ridge is easy. A wonderful hike.

A very beautiful hike starting from the Port Pass. The climb is fairly easy. However, once you reach the ridge, you must turn left immediately after passing the signpost and continue along the path through a forest of felled trees. There, the markings are practically non-existent for about 1 km, but then, with the help of the Visorando app, you continue in the same direction and eventually find the slightly faded markings that lead you to the summit with its breathtaking views.

A very pleasant parish-specific to Brittany short hike for the whole family. Lots of people at the pass, but they were all heading for the Estibat. There was still a little snow in the forest, but no problem. What a view at the summit! Magnificent at this time of year!

Not very busy, but it is Tuesday! We met three hikers. We did the hike on snowshoes. The snow-covered landscapes in the woods are magnificent, and the view from the summit is extraordinary, with a 360° panorama of all the peaks in the Ariège mountain range.

A very pleasant route. Beautiful views of the pass and valley on the first climb (and last descent!), very beautiful view of the Pyrenees (and in particular the Vallier) on arrival at the Razels peak, but the "ridge" section is not entirely obvious, as the "ridge" is very wide and in a beech forest, which is certainly very pleasant, but with yellow and red markings that are almost faded and infrequent.

The route along the ridge is entirely through forest with no viewpoints. At the entrance to the forest, tree felling has removed some trees, the markers are few and far between and you have to search a little... Things improve further on and the viewpoint at the summit is superb in clear weather...
On the way back, before descending to the Port pass, you can head straight for the Pelade de Saurat: very open with a beautiful panorama (30 mins)
