Lac d'Ayous

  • English
    • The Lakes of Ayous form a set of three small lakes located below the Pic d'Ayous: lakes Gentau, du Miey, Roumassot . An essential hike to discover the Oussau Valley and the surroundings of Laruns, guides you in the heart of the Pyrenean landscapes.
      The route is well signposted from Lake Bious-Artigue, accessible by car. You just have to follow the signs "Lacs d'Ayous"; and the GR10. The route forms a loop of about fifteen kilometers.
      It is considered to be of medium difficulty and is therefore intended for good walkers. On the way, the setting is magnificent: the lakes are surrounded by Pyrenean peaks and summits.

    Sunset at Lacs d'Ayous with Midi d'Ossau on the back. Easy 2 hour hike to the upper lake, great place to watch sunset and sunrise.

    Very nice views and good round-trip. However mostly very crowded.

    Very nice hike to the Lacs d'Ayous refuge. We left from the parking lot of Bious-Artigues (from the bottom). If the parking lot next to the lake of Bious-Artigues (located above) is open, you can park there directly. Route planned 1h30 by Google and 2h50 by the hiking application for a beginner level. The refuge is located next to the 3rd lake, Lac de Gentau. We took 3 hours leaving at 4 p.m. End of the road under the storms. Plan k-way if you arrive at the end of the day. Possibility of sleeping in a tent to bivouac next to the refuge (magnificent view!!). The gendarmerie told us to be able to pitch the tent all along the route. Bring good shoes because it climbs well (700 meters of elevation gain) :)
