25 – LE TOUR DU PLATEAU DE CAMPSAURE

Steps

Step 1

Pass the inn and continue straight ahead on the track towards the Pesson hut. You will soon enter the forest.

Step 2

At the intersection (1,449 m), turn left towards ""Fontaine Rouge"". The slope becomes a little steeper but remains very accessible. The track then turns into a winding path. You will pass a spring where you can enjoy some refreshing water. The plateau is only a few minutes away.

Step 3

On the plateau, at the first intersection, continue straight ahead until you reach another crossroads. Take the track on your left (1,747 m). Take advantage of this gently sloping path to enjoy the scenery: Superbagnères, the valley leading to the Boums refuge, the 3000-metre peaks of Luchon. It's magnificent. On your right are the summer pastures where you can see cows, sheep, horses and sometimes chamois.

Step 4

Shortly before the hut at the end of the plateau, take the path on your left towards the Hospice de France (signposted – 1642m). You will re-enter the forest via the goat track and arrive a little later behind the Hospice de France building.
