A pleasant hike from the village of Sacoué, through the Bois du Mont Sacon (or Saqueton). Cool in summer and sheltered in winter, the entire route is through the forest. At the summit, a sheltered orientation table has been built on an ancient sanctuary consisting of the remains of votive altars from the Gallo-Roman period, possibly dedicated to Jupiter, and currently preserved at the Saint-Raymond Museum in Toulouse. Breathtaking view all the way to Aneto.

This family hike can be done in summer but also in winter with snowshoes. There are no difficulties on this route.

Once you reach the summit, you will find a magnificent orientation table and an extraordinary 360° panorama overlooking the Comminges and Barousse mountains and the Tarbes plain.

This hike in the Haut Comminges is pleasant, with little elevation gain, no difficulty and well marked. Most of the route is in the woods, so it is particularly recommended in summer or autumn. In addition, if you want to take a break, there is a picnic table at the Col de Lauach.

A portion of the circular route is on the Jacobean Way, passing through a green valley and then skirting the foothills in the undergrowth, where chestnuts abound in autumn.

This hike can be done with or without snow... On the evening of 13 July 1944, seven British and Canadian airmen from the Royal Air Force took off to resupply the Nistos maquis. The Halifax aircraft crashed into the Pic du Douly. The airmen did not survive and were buried on site. Debris from the aircraft is still visible today. All this calls for silence and contemplation...
