Pic de Néouvielle

The peak of Néouvielle is an easily accessible summit of the reserve of the same name. Culminating at 3,091 meters above sea level, it dominates numerous lakes alongside several other peaks also exceeding 3,000 meters.

The start is at the paid parking lot at Lake Orédon. The path quickly climbs through a magnificent forest which leads to the Laquettes, a new body of water nestled in the heart of rocky mountains. You follow its banks, discovering all its facets, until you reach Lake Aubert and its dam.

From then on, the slope becomes more pronounced until reaching the summit. This section indeed includes a steep drop in altitude which takes place on terrain that has become exclusively rocky. As you advance, the panorama of the Néouvielle reserve opens up more and more.

In the last portion of the climb, the route winds over large blocks of rock. Follow the cairns and the markings carefully to stay on the right path. The last meters are the steepest, but arriving at the summit provides a spectacular view. You overlook a beautiful part of the reserve including Lake Cap-de-Long and the famous Lakes of Aubert and Aumar. Not far from you, stand the peak of the Trois Conseillers, the Turon du Néouvielle as well as the Campbieil. To find the starting point, all you have to do is take exactly the same path as on the way out.
