C'est une zone de montagne => vêtements de protection pluie, eau, casse-croûte, tracé gpx, description, carte, GPS ou appli Visorando, appareil photo, de bonnes chaussures de marche, un bâton.

Il faudra partir assez tôt en période de canicule et le temps peut très vite changer dans cette vallée. De beaux endroits pour des pauses réparatrices.

Nombreux hébergements dans ce secteur. Penser néanmoins à réserver !
Ne pas oublier le sac à viande pour la nuitée.
Penser aux repas du midi et aux vêtements de rechange.

Ce séjour nécessite le recours à un véhicule.

The Étangs de Bassiès from Massada

Visorando Member

Les Étangs de Bassiès depuis Massada

Departure from Auzat (Ariège)

First day completed during a three-day trip (August 2023) from Vicdessos (Val de Sos). Please note: the proposed route, which is in perfect condition, is only roughly marked except for the section of theGR®10. This hike is classified as difficult due to the need for good orientation skills, the poor condition ofthe GR®10, the numerous steps to climb, the duration, etc. If it is a simple return trip to the refuge via theGR®10, then the hike can be classified as moderate.

Bassiès ponds

Etangs de Bassiès

Departure from Auzat (Ariège)

The granite cirque of Bassiès, near the Montcalm massif, is impressive for its size and its lakes. It is accessed from the right bank of the steeply-sided Bassiès stream via a comfortable but steep path that passes through a beautiful forest before coming out onto a rocky outcrop that marks the first lake. The descent is on the other bank, which is just as steep, following a well-maintained stony mule track.

Pic de Cabanatous via the Bassiès lakes

Pic de Cabanatous par les étangs de Bassiès

Departure from Auzat (Ariège)

A difficult but exceptional hike offering panoramic views of the Ariège Pyrenees. After a steep climb to the Bassiès lakes, you will walk along them before gaining height and reaching the Pic de Cabanatous, a viewpoint offering a 360° view from Tarbésou to Mont Vallier.

Marc's Lodge - Refuge du Pinet

Visorando Member

Departure from Auzat (Ariège)

The first stage of the journey, the shortest and easiest, to warm up your legs, passing through the Bois de Fontanal and the Étang Sourd to the Refuge du Pinet. The elevation gain is still significant.

Tour of the Giants of the Three Nations

Visorando Member

Departure from Auzat (Ariège)

A beautiful cross-border high mountain loop between France, Spain and Andorra, which takes you through the highest peaks of Ariège and Andorra, as well as other iconic peaks in the region. It also allows you to discover numerous lakes and ponds, as well as a multitude of different landscapes (forests, summer pastures, scree slopes, etc.) to delight all hikers. This itinerary takes us through three natural parks: the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Nature Park, the Alt Pirineu Natural Park and the Coma Pedrosa Valley Nature Park.

Ascent to the Étangs du Fourcat via the Étang d'Izourt

Visorando Member

Departure from Auzat (Ariège)

A beautiful hike that will take you to one of the most beautiful lakes in the Vicdessos valley. The times indicated are for a trained walker. Allow at least 5 hours to reach the refuge.

The Izourt Pond

Visorando Member

L’Étang d'Izourt

Departure from Auzat (Ariège)

A beautiful hike ending at the Étang d'Izourt with a stunning view. The Étang d'Izourt is a dam lake with a tragic history (read about it on the commemorative plaque). There are two paths you can take to get to the Étang d'Izourt: the left bank or the right bank of the stream. The outward journey is on the right bank of the Arties stream and the return journey is on the left bank.

Circular Bège ridges from Vicdessos

Visorando Member

Departure from Vicdessos (Ariège)

This hike is for experienced hikers who are comfortable using the app, as it takes place on unmarked roads and trails until the junction with the GR® Tour des Trois Seigneurs at the highest point of the Crêtes de Bège. The trails are old but still easily identifiable and easy to follow. However, you will need to be in good physical condition as there is a significant elevation gain over a relatively short distance. You will also need to be able to identify the best routes when you reach the rocky part of the ridge. From there, you will discover exceptional 360° panoramic views. The return journey, which is not particularly difficult, follows the GR® trail.
