アヴェランの絶景の山頂・トップ5

nice relaxing hike (down the mountain) not far from Lourdes

Nice view over Lourdes, but it is a steep and technical single track to get here.

Magnificent

hike to do in dry weather, with a magnificent view of the Pic du Jer at the summit

Nice view. Very crowded.

The Jer peak peaks at 948 meters, overlooking the emblematic city of Lourdes. Also accessible by funicular, it offers a superb view of the city and its valley.

Magnificent viewpoint once at the top but DO NOT take the route that leaves from Parking Boissarie!! From the old cable car down to the river the hiking trail no longer exists. No choice but to go down but in the middle of brambles, nettles and a few slips. As the old hiking trail is no longer maintained, it has become dangerous. With the "good" surprise of coming face to face with hunters...

This is BY FAR the WORST route I have ever walked there. This so-called "walking path" is a 10 cm narrow dirt furrow that the cows use. What I have never had before is that a path is drawn that is qua non-existent. I was standing in front of a rocky cliff while descending and had two options 1. Call a helicopter 2. Somehow get down there without sustaining life-threatening injuries. I then slid almost 20 meters down the slope with my butt first. It should be mentioned in passing that the remaining “paths” are completely overgrown with nettles, small fir trees and other thorny plants. I cut myself EVERYTHING and can only hope I don't end up in the hospital with a tetanus infection. Please, please people, AVOID this route at ALL costs.
