15 – LE PIC DU CAGIRE

Steps

Step 1

Take the track on the right of the hut at the Col de Menté. Go through the barrier and continue straight ahead.

Step 2

Be careful, because after about 20 minutes you will need to take a path climbing up to your left, which will lead you back to a new track. There, turn left and follow it to the Larreix hut (1,470 m).

Step 3

The trail continues behind the hut and you will arrive at Pas de l'Ane (1,708 m). Turn right onto a ridge to reach Pique-Poque (1,898 m) and then Cagire (1,912 m).

Step 4

Retrace your steps to the Pas de l'Ane and continue straight ahead on the ridge. Continue to the pass at the foot of the Pic de l'Escalette. From there, take the path on your right which will lead you to the Escalette hut.

Step 5

Just after this, take the path plunging down to your right, which will take you to the Col de Mente.
