Sauth deth Pish
The hike starts from the car park near the "Sauth deth Pish" waterfall, after 9 km on a tarmac track.
After seeing the pretty waterfall on the left as you arrive, the route starts by heading towards the bottom of the valley.
There is a first, slightly steep climb through the woods, then you come out into a treeless area.
The difficulty lies not in the elevation gain, but in the section between the end of the forest and the bridge that takes you to the other side, which runs along the side of the mountain on a fairly narrow path. However, if you take care, it's easy to navigate.
You then come out onto a tarmac track for the descent, which is admittedly less pleasant and has a few cars passing by, but I wouldn't have done it the other way round.

The Pic du Crabère is a must-see summit forming a tripoint between Haute-Garonne, Ariège and Spain. It offers a superb view of the entire Maladeta glacier and the highest peaks in Spain, including the king of the Pyrenees: Aneto! A fairly long hike, but without any technical difficulty, and with a well-marked and easy-to-follow path.

Combine mountain hiking with discovering industrial heritage.This valley has a significant mining heritage, and the succession of reminders of this during the climb, dotted with ruins and twisted, rusty scrap metal, evokes the past importance of the heart of our mountain range.

Very difficult
Departure from Sentein (Ariège)
The highest point in the Val d'Aran and Couserans, Maubermé is often overlooked in favour of Mont Valier. However, unlike Valier, the path climbs steadily and pleasantly to Port d'Urets (and its small hut where you can spend the night), then becomes a little steeper to reach the summit, which may prove a little difficult for those who are not used to it.

This is a beautiful circuit in the Val d'Aran, through the Vaqueira mountains to Naut and Baish de Bacivèr Lakes.Although it's a short loop, it requires an established fitness level to climb the first half of the route.The effort will be rewarded by the arrival at Lac Naut de Bacivèr, the highest point of the hike.

Departure from Saint-Lary (Ariège)
A short circular loop between cabins and pastures.
More of a pleasant stroll than a real hike, this route has the advantage of being very accessible without compromising on the beauty of the landscape.
The ease of this route also makes it very interesting for snowshoeing.
