World-class trail

Length

10km

Duration

5h

Elev gain

Rather than making the round trip to the Gavarnie waterfall by the traditional path, this circuit allows you to discover the magnificent circus by taking a little height. The path is more demanding there, but you are rewarded by the less frequentation and the variety of landscapes encountered.

Super balade ! On a bien suivi l’itinéraire Hika à l’aller, en empruntant les corniches jusqu’à la fameuse cascade. En revanche pour le retour, on a évité le sentier principal, très fréquenté, et on a aussi emprunté des corniches en surplomb, côté ouest du cirque.
