  Nice discovery. I had the chance to hike there in a group (children + adults) accompanied by a guide. The day was rich in landscape, forest, meadow, plain… we picnicked near the refuges where the view is sublime. The hike was suitable for novices and children. No need for advanced equipment, good adapted shoes are enough. The place is pleasant because less frequented than the plateau of the benou its neighbor. Really to redo

  Opposite the Bénou plateau, the Port of Castet also offers beautiful hikes. Much less frequented than the Bénou, it gives access to the track that goes up to the Col du Jaout and nothing more than that, it's great! You can take the Tour de la Vallée d'Ossau GRP which passes over the plateau after coming up from the valley...This will take you to Laruns.

  The place is really beautiful but you don't feel welcome by the locals... This very pretty plateau of pastures and forests offers a landscape that combines large pastoral spaces and forest areas facing the Plateau du Bénou, on the western slope of the Ossau Valley. It is accessible by a small winding road from the village of Castet, and is a real challenge for cyclists (10% slope). From the month of June this very pretty plateau becomes the territory of the herds while waiting for the day of the great transhumance towards the high pastures.
