In Gavarnie, take the road to Port de Boucharo and park at the Col de Tentes car park.
(S/E) At the end of the road and the Col de Tentes car park, take the signposted path (sign) to Lac des Espècières to the north-west. Follow this path to the lake, go round it to the right, then climb up to the Col des Espécières. From the pass, the panorama is completed by a bird’s-eye view of Lac de Lapazosa and the Tendeñera massif.
(1) Turn left, then follow an intermittent path up the steep grassy hill, south-southeast. Reach the summit of the hill, marked by a cairn.
Walk along the broad ridge in the same direction, following the cairns, then descend a few metres towards a saddle that connects with the pre-summit of Pic entre les Ports.
Turn left onto a small traverse path, then head to the foot of the north-east ridge, situated to the left of the secondary summit where a cairn stands. (See video)
Turn right and, via a short climb on a south-west-facing path, reach this small summit topped by an unfinished stone enclosure.
(2) Continue south-west, keeping well in the centre of the ridge, until you reach the Pic entre les Ports, which is also topped by a stone enclosure.
(3) Return in the opposite direction via the same route to your car park. (S/E)
