A very beautiful summit just before the Pic du Cagire. It offers a very beautiful view of many peaks: Pic de Midi de Bigorre, Aneto, etc. You can also see the Boutx ski resort!

I would like to make hikers aware that this route can become particularly dangerous in winter, particularly because of the ridge towards the Pas de l'Ane which can become covered in ice. In this case, ice axes and mountaineering crampons are essential. 2 people died at this location on 1/1/2025, which triggered access bans. I have taken steps to have these bans lifted while raising awareness in a constructive way. Take the time to find out about the snow conditions before undertaking this hike. Enjoy your walks!

The Col de Caude, accessible from Boutx or Bezins, offers lovely views and provides access to the Pic du Gar to the west and to the Pic de l'Escalette and then to the Pic de Gagire to the east.

Access to the Pic de l'Escalette is relatively easy from the Col de Menté and it offers a magnificent panorama of the Pyrenees.

Between the Aspet and the Ares is this small col which is the easiest in the region. It was very quiet driving here.
