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 Ariège Pyrenees 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.
- Stay discreet, for wild animals.
- In summer pasture areas, remember to close fences and gates. Do not approach or feed the animals. If a Patou (a livestock protection dog) approaches you, move away slowly and calmly. Do not make large gestures or shout, even if it barks, as it will consider you a threat. If it follows you, ignore it.
-Swimming in the lakes of the commune of Bethmale is prohibited. This applies to the lakes of Bethmale, Ayes, Eychelle, Milouga, Arouech and Cruzous. (Order AR-2024-004 of 05/12/2024)
- Bivouacking is permitted, 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 permitted more than 200 meters from a forest. Stoves should be used instead of natural fireplaces.
- In the unlikely event of an encounter with a bear (which will try to avoid us at all costs): approach calmly, move away gradually, and do not run.
