Spectacular valley views

Highlight • Other

When hiking, we often forget to turn around to watch and enjoy the show.
This mound deserves a short stop to contemplate the valley that takes you straight to the Néouvielle.
You will then be able to see the elevation gain and the distance traveled from the Grand Tourmalet car park.

Lac Dets Coubous

Highlight • Lake

The Coubous cabin is an open and unguarded refuge. It is located at an altitude of 2,041 meters on the edge of the eponymous lake.

There is very little wood around, so if you are planning to light a fire in the fireplace to warm up the atmosphere a little, we suggest you bring it from the valley. Which is also the general usage.

You can sleep up to 4-5 people there quite comfortably. From 6 you will have to tighten up a little, but at the same time it warms up.

Hourquette d’Aubert

Highlight • Summit

La hourquette d'Aubert, which rises to an altitude of 2,498 meters, offers a beautiful overview of the Néouvielle reserve. It marks the end of your courageous ascent from Barèges, and the beginning of the descent towards the lakes. Those of Aubert and Aumar will open the ball.

Small clarification, an hourquette designates in Gascon, a succession of passes whose silhouette forms a fork. The term is mainly used in Pyrenean toponymy.

Tournaboup

Highlight • Rest Area

Tournaboup is a small outdoor sports resort equipped with a bike park with ski lifts. For hikers, it is above all an opportunity to fill water bottles in a fountain and to have a bite to eat on the restaurant terrace while seeing the valley which descends towards the Néouvielle.
