Saint-Aventin walks

A superb hike in the Oueil valley with the added bonus of meeting local horses and panoramic views of the Pyrenees between Aneto and Grand Quayrat.

A very pleasant and easy hike, allowing you to stroll between the Oueil Valley and the Col de Peyresourde. Halfway along the route, you will discover rows of cromlechs with views of the Pyrenean peaks between Aneto and Quayrat. The Croix de Garin offers a clear view of the Agudes and the climb up to the pass.

A beautiful hike in the hills above Bagnères-de-Luchon, featuring a long stretch along a ridge or balcony offering stunning views of the Pyrenean massif, the foothills, the town of Luchon and the Larboust valley. The paths are well marked except for a short section on the return journey, between (5) and (8), which is steep and requires sure-footedness.

A lovely walk starting from Saint-Paul-d'Oueil towards the ridges of the Tour d'Oueil Larboust, with views over the valleys and the Port de Pierrefitte.

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.

A very pleasant circular route, mostly in the forest, with beautiful views of the Larboust Valley and the Val d'Astau.

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

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 magnificent, easily accessible route on the Superbagnères ridge, offering exceptional views of all the peaks of the Luchonnais and the surrounding valleys.

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.

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

Starting from Les Granges d'Astau, there is a long climb with some steep sections, made more pleasant by the presence of several lakes. Lac d'Oô and its inn, and Lac d'Espingo in its magnificent setting are ideal places to stop for a break. After Lac du Saussat (pronounced Sa-ou-sat), the much smaller Lac de la Coume de l'Abesque marks the start of the steep, winding climb that leads to a plateau dotted with smooth rocks and small lakes, and then to the Jean Arlaud refuge.

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