A very pretty circular route that follows the French-Spanish border ridge, passing through three passes.A very well-marked red and white path on the Spanish side allows you to pass below the ridges (for those prone to vertigo).
The markings can be helpful, but they change over time due to privatisation, diversions, temporary closures, etc.
This circular may be difficult for some people.
