Description of the walk

Access: From Saint-Lary-Soulan, head towards the Bielsa tunnel. Take the first road on the left towards Tramezaïgues. Then continue straight ahead. Please note that the road is narrow. Park at the terminal car park.

(S/E) Head towards the "Soulé" hut at the end of the car park. Leave the hut on your left. The path climbs gradually up the right bank of the Péguère stream. When you reach the first bridge, cross it.

(1) Take the path on the right that descends through the forest. Walk along the hamlet of Frédancon to reach the small suspension bridge over the stream.

(2) Cross and turn right. The path runs alongside the river until you reach the car park where you started (S/E).

A very beautiful hike, accessible and easy overall. There are beautiful streams along the entire route, the only problem being that there are many fallen trees in the first part. I highly recommend it!

A lovely, easy walk along the river at the bottom of the valley. Quite crowded at the start of the walk, but very few people after the fork at the first bridge. Lots of undergrowth, very pleasant, with a lovely view of the stream. We even saw a fawn! 😍

A pleasant walk to enjoy with the family, especially when it's a bit warm, as it is mostly shaded. However, the area gets very busy from 11 a.m. onwards

Parish specific to Brittany hike, with a short snowy section at point 1.
However, the route around point 2 is not accurate. The bridge is 300 or 400 metres further than indicated on the trail.

It wasn't marked or I didn't see it, but it's a summer hike. The access road is closed 7 km before the starting car park in winter.

A magnificent hike through a very peaceful forest, with beautiful views of the highest mountains in places!

Apart from a short section with high steps, the hike is very accessible for people with mobility issues or visual impairments.

I highly recommend it!

A pleasant, shaded family hike. We hired a donkey for our 3-year-old daughter. The person who hires out the donkeys is very friendly. Allow a little extra time for this walk with this "mode of transport".

It might have been useful to indicate the distance between the village and the terminal car park (approximately 8 kilometres)
Otherwise, perfect description, nothing to say except THANK YOU

⚑Departure from Saint-Lary-Soulan (Hautes-Pyrénées)
The first stage starts at the Hospice du Rioumajou. You are at the start of the summer pastures, one of the arrival points of the Ténarèze. This ancient path, first traced in prehistoric times and then developed by the Romans, linked the Adour and Garonne basins, avoiding fords and tolls. A major transhumance route, it allowed herds to move between the plains and the mountains, while serving as a commercial and cultural link between Gascony and Spain, notably via passes such as the Ourdissétou.
