Luz is a lively mountain village with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. You can buy any last minute gear that is needed and relax into the atmosphere of the Pyrenees. We will brief you on your trek, supply your maps and notes and GPS tracks and answer all last minute questions.

Day walk up to a high pass above the Saugué Plateau to reach a surprising suspended balcony with wonderful views over the frontier summits, the Brèche de Roland. It's a lovely picnic spot - very satisfying after a steep climb at the end. Come down a different path, exploring old barns and high pastures. A shorter walk is possible to a small mount half way up the plateau. Spend a second night in the Saugué Gite. Ascent/descent 670m (~9kms). Possibility of shorter or longer walks.

Walk right into the heart of the Gavarnie Cirque, for the most part on side paths to avoid the crowds even in high summer. From the Hôtel du Cirque walk to the foot of the “Grand Cascade” or just sit on the terrace of the café and admire the view while others do it. From there you take a balcony path to the Espugettes Refuge at 2027m for the night. No bag transfer option possible here. Ascent +550m (~9kms), waterfall option adds 200m ascent/descent (~3kms).

Day walk into the Troumouse Cirque, again using a lesser known balcony path via the Aguila Valley. This gives you a spectacular entrance into the cirque through a natural gateway. We collect you in the afternoon and return to Luz. Ascent/descent 700m (~9kms).
