Route of access
- Since Tarbes, to pass Bagnères de Bigorre, Campan and Sainte-Marie de Campan. To assemble in direction of Mongie and the Collar of Tourmalet. In Artigues, to park the car in front of the municipal camp-site (carpark).
-
Opposite the camp-site (northern slope), to take the forest road which, in some laces, leads to the huts of Tramezaygues. From there, to continue on left bank of the brook of Arizes, by a way which quickly becomes path. After a a little hard coast, one arrives at the valley of Arizes (known as also valley of silence).
-
To go up the valley of Arizes, without much difficulty, always on left bank to the hut of Arizes.
-
a long rise with mountainside remains to be made to arrive to the outfall of the lake. Per good weather, many paths of shepherds make it possible to reach it easily. In covered or misty weather, to approach the brook and to follow it to the lake.
-
the point of view is remarkable: valley of Arizes, face is Pic of the South of Bigorre, Coum of the Peak, solid mass of the Four-Terms.
-
Attention, if you must use the compass, the eminence located between the collar of Aouet and the collar of Arizes is a very ferruginous mass. The compass tends to panic.
-
For more enduring, one can cross the collar of Aouet and rock in the valley of Lesponne.
-
One can also return towards Artigues by the peaks located on left hand, i.e. in the east: Bolt Lounque and Courtalet; attention with the rock bars, without great difficulties but with the friable walls. On this last route, if one is discrete, of the Isard S are visible.
