Vielle-Aure walks
Granges de Grascouéou from Agos
Magnificent view of the barns, extensive panorama of the Rioumajou Valley, Lustou, the Louron peaks, Hourgade and the village of Saint-Lary-Soulan. On the other side, view of the Plat d'Adet and the Aulon Valley.
Large circular from Les Caneilles to Saint-Lary-Soulan
An easy hike apart from the climb to Sailhan, which is steep but on a good, very passable path.
Yellow markings are faded or non-existent in places, but the Xs indicating the wrong direction are clearly visible.
Loop starting from Saint-Lary-Soulan
A balcony route leading from Saint-Lary-Soulan to Tramezaïgues, its Romanesque church, its castle ruins and back via the balcony on the other side of the valley to Vignec.Some pretty views and villages.Note: the hike is called Chemin des Traques by the Tourist Office and is marked in yellow all along the way.
From Saint-Lary-Soulan to Ancizan
The second stage of the Ténarèze, at the bottom of the Aure valley, runs alongside the Neste river through fields. In places, the path widens, suggesting the trace of the old drovers' road, particularly near the Nourde footbridge. A peaceful route that passes through several small rural villages set on a plain ideal for resting herds before the climb to the summer pastures.
The Consaterre Lakes
This long hike, varied by its succession of landscapes, will allow you to discover three lakes tucked away in a mountainous world enveloped in silence and solitude. A hike for nature lovers.
The Azet walk
In the heart of the Hautes-Pyrénées, between the Aure and Louron valleys, the charming village of Azet awaits you for this short family walk.
On foot or by mountain bike, you will discover all the charm of the Pyrenean landscapes, their scents, their scenery and their local flora and fauna.
Enjoy the coolness of the torrents and streams that flow through the pastures. Have a great walk!
Circular at the Cabane d'Auloueilh
A very beautiful hike through the summer pastures of Aulon. Best done after the transhumance so you can enjoy the many herds of cows and sheep. You will pass by huts, walk along and cross streams, and walk through meadows full of flowers.
Loop trail between the Aure and Louron valleys
A simple hike with an almost continuous 360° view of the Aure and Louron valleys and the surrounding peaks (Arbizon, Lustou, Abeille, etc.). The quietest hikers are sure to spot squirrels, wild boars and birds of prey in the forest.
Accessible on foot, snowshoes or mountain bike, with a slight elevation gain (mainly on three short steep climbs).
No signposting but 90% of the route is on forest tracks and clean pastures. Crosses two small streams.
Lacs des Miares
A very beautiful hike. The descent into the steep-sided Sarrouyes valley retains a wild aspect. The climb to Lac de Sarrouyes takes you through meadows, following the stream. You may see many marmots here. From the Lac de Sarrouyes junction, the climb to Lac des Miares becomes more challenging. Good physical condition is recommended. I would say it is difficult rather than very difficult, as recommended by Visorando.
Lac de Sarrouyes
A very beautiful hike that is accessible to everyone. The descent into the steeply-sided Sarrouyes valley retains a wild appearance. The end of the climb is in the middle of a meadow, following the stream. You may see many marmots here.

Pic de Néouvielle from Lac d'Aubert
The Néouvielle massif is the highest massif in the Pyrenees entirely within France. The Pic du Néouvielle (3,091 m) is its emblem, if not its highest peak, in the heart of a regional nature reserve where every lake is a marvel.
This hike offers the ascent via the usual route, through the ancient Néouvielle glaciers, and a less easy but more fun descent via boulders. Starting from Lac d'Aubert, the route is fairly easy, especially in spring and early summer when the snow in the north-east couloir is still present, allowing you to avoid the scree, and is fairly well marked. In the last section, you cross the area of the former Néouvielle glaciers, partially replaced by snowfields, scree and large boulders. Finally, a short, easy climb up a chimney takes you to the summit, where you can enjoy exceptional views of the surrounding area and the entire Pyrenees mountain range!
