Key information: Vallee d'Estaing

    •  The mountains surrounding this particularly lovely valley beg to be explored. Think lakes, meadows and forested slopes below high crags and regular late snow. 

      • A variety of walks will take you to lakes, high(ish) cols and higher refuges to base yourself in. GR10 passes through, so is also a day or longer walking option. Or you can climb Grand Barbat (2,813m).
        • This can be tough walking in high, remote mountains, with unpredictable weather. Come prepared.

          • This page is at an early stage of development. Please help us by making suggestions and sending photos! Thank you!

          For more information and photos, including on wildlife and the landscape and including detailed practical information and some warnings, see our French Pyrenees walk page.
