LA TOUR DE CASTEL BLANCAT DEPUIS LA GARE DE LUCHON

Steps

Step 1

From the Luchon station car park, cross the road to the impasse de la Liberté.

Step 2

Steep at first, path no. 53 then levels out slightly and you climb up to the top, with a beautiful view of Luchon.

Step 3

You then reach a crossroads of paths (alt: 870m): the path on the left leads to a ferruginous spring (5mn, nice viewpoint with a picnic table), keep going straight ahead, in the direction of Cazarilh.

Step 4

Follow the path as it rises up to the village.

Step 5

You arrive at the village of Cazarilh. The sculpture "Le randonneur" by Françoise Lasvènes invites you to take a contemplative break.

Step 6

Go through the village of Cazarilh and just before the church, path no. 55 continues past the gate. Remember to close the gate after you have passed through.

Step 7

You soon enter the forest. The path is very pleasant, especially in hot weather.

Step 8

Turn left at the junction leading down to Trébons (980m), and continue on the track in front of you.

Step 9

Halfway along the route, a short diversions to the left will take you to the Castel-Blancat tower (1000m – whitewashed castle in Occitan).

Step 10

After a well-earned break, you return to Cazarilh along the same route. Cross the village to the "Randonneur" sculpture and begin the descent.

Step 11

The return journey takes the same route.
