Voie d'Astise

Highlight • Other

A few steps from the village of Izeste, this pretty grassy plateau is at the foot of the Pic d'Hourcat (1,341 metres). The road leads both to the ascent of the peak and to a small bucolic path which follows the course of the Lamisou.

The Bénou Plateau

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Bénou plateau, located 900 meters above sea level, offers an open and clear landscape on the surrounding mountains: the Ports of Castet, Béon and Aste, the Mail Massibé. You can also admire the high Pyrenean mountains and their snow-capped peaks in the distance.

This site also enjoys the presence of cromlechs: these are prehistoric monuments, formed of menhirs placed in a circle.
