71 – CHEMIN DE OÔ À ASTAU

Steps

Step 1

Leave your vehicle in the village car park and head towards the village exit in the direction of the Astau barns. Before the bridge, a small sign invites you to turn right onto a tarmac road that quickly becomes a track. The climb is mainly in the shade, making this a good afternoon hike. This path is on the left bank of the Neste d'Oô.

Step 2

The climb is gentle and steady. You will pass through the barns of Espoujau (1,022 m). After going through a metal gate, you will see the destination of your hike, the Granges d'Astau.

Step 3

In a few minutes, you will cross the Pont d'Astau bridge to reach the barns, where you can take a break on the terrace of one of the two inns on the site.

Step 4

The return journey is via the same route.
