In a high mountain setting, you will be able to see izards, marmots, and if you are lucky, a bearded vulture... A guarded refuge will allow you to do the hike in two days, taking the time to admire the Ribérot valley with its waterfalls and lakes.
You will admire the Ribérot valley with its waterfalls, its lakes, the Milouga ponds and the Muscadet valley.
From Saint-Girons, take the direction of Castillon-en-Couserans, then the direction of Bordes-sur-Lez. 2kms after Bordes-sur-Lez, take a small road on the left towards Ayer / Maison du Valier. Pass the hamlet of Ayer and continue for nearly 6km to the Pla de la Lau car park.
Additional Information :
You are in the heart of the Pyrenees Ariégeoises Natural Park. We encourage you to adopt responsible behavior in this fragile and shared environment. - Stay on the trails and take your waste with you. - Observe the flora without picking it. - Remain discreet for wild animals. - In summer pasture areas, remember to close fences and barriers. Do not approach or feed animals. If a Patou (herd protection dog) approaches you, move away slowly and calmly. No big gestures or shouting, even if he barks, because he would consider you a threat. If he follows you, ignore him. - Swimming in lakes is not recommended. Sunscreen (even organic!) and other cosmetics are a source of pollution in this fragile environment. - Bivouac is authorized, but only between 19 p.m. and 9 a.m., and more than an hour's walk from a parking lot. - During periods of drought, all fires are prohibited. In other cases, fires are only authorized more than 200m from a forest. Prefer stoves to natural fireplaces. - In the event of a very unlikely encounter with a bear (which is trying to avoid us at all costs): show yourself calmly, move away gradually, and do not run.
