The expert's opinion

A route on good, mostly flat paths. No exposed sections or climbing, and a very gentle terrain.

Few climbs, and those that do occur are short and not excessively steep. Suitable for most people! From age 5.

The weight of the bag is a factor that should not be overlooked.

    From the Tramassel pass, we will easily follow the ancient and gentle paths along the Hautacam ridges. A vast panorama will unfold at every step, no doubt watched by the curious gaze of a few griffon vultures… Soon, we will reach the lovely Lake Isaby, which will be the perfect opportunity for a pleasant break!

    After this break, a good, wild climb and crossing the ridge via the Hourquette d'Ouscouaou pass will allow us to descend into a new valley and reach the very pretty site of Lac d'Ourrec. We will then need to gather firewood to prepare a small fire for an evening full of excitement!
