    Hiking

    Leaning against the cliff, and facing the path of the mast, the fort of Portalet was initially built to protect the road to the Col de Somport.
    It will serve as a penitentiary center for many political figures under the Vichy regime.

    View of the old fortress to defend the valley from the GR10. Just before the Chemin de la Mature.

    Hiking

    If the path carved into the rock itself is already impressive, the views of the nearby Font Du Portalet end up confirming that we must do this route!
