Hiking
Very low in altitude for a glacier, the Oulettes de Gaube combine the particularities which allow it to exist at only 2,400 meters. Its full north exposure is part of this, but also the protective envelope of the Vignemale, which further reduces contact with the sun. The winter snows that accumulate on Vignemale also contribute to its survival. In fact, many small “avalanches” feed the glacier every year.
