レ・アタス周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Very rocky underfoot and quite steep in places, with narrow walkways and steep drop-offs. A beautiful route full of history, not for beginners as quite physically taxing at times and technical in places,

Beautiful hike, accessible to all levels, without any difficulty, and rich in panoramas.

A very beautiful hike above the Gorges de l'Enfer, very narrow. It took us more like 4 hours because we were slower, with photo stops. The hike is indeed intermediate level. However, the magnificent passage of the mast path has no guardrail on the side of the void, and is sometimes narrow. I do not recommend it for people with vertigo, or for young children. Part of the hike, on the flat area after the two refuges, is in the shade of oaks and ash trees, welcome to the climb!

Impressive path carved into the rock

The Belagua refuge is a symbol of mountaineering in Navarre, its location makes it the ideal starting point for any adventure. It is open all year round and has 54 beds. It also offers food service and a bar.

Without a doubt, the Col de la Piedra de Saint Martin or Pierre Saint-Martin is one of the Top 10 in the whole of the Pyrenees. Without exceeding 2000 metres of altitude, it is a very long pass, with a lot of accumulated gradient (due to the innumerable French slopes, the gradient is 1,450 metres), with very hard slopes and several kilometres above 10%, with wonderful landscapes and panoramic views and with little traffic, except for the slopes crossed by the main road (D132 in France, the NA 137 in Spain). It is a pass with many slopes; in Europe there are few other passes that have as many slopes as this one (col de Turini, Passo delle Erbe, would be comparable in number of slopes approximately). I have only climbed it by 2 slopes: (i) my first time was from Lourdios Ichère, crossing the col de Labays and the col de Soudet. Simply spectacular; (ii) I have subsequently climbed the Spanish side on several occasions, which is unique, and which starts from Belagua and crosses the Belagua cross-country ski resort to reach the mountain pass. It is also very beautiful, with a landscape and views different from the north-east side. If I had to choose one of the two, I liked the north-west side better because it is more remote, harder and in my opinion more authentic. It is also a culturally special mountain pass because the Tribute of the 3 cows takes place on its summit every 13th of July, which is considered the oldest treaty in force in Europe. So... you know... you cannot miss the opportunity to come here and enjoy this wonderful jewel of the Pyrenees!!!!

We spontaneously got a place in the hut during our visit in July 2024. Nice people, very good food, well-kept rooms.

Modern and well-equipped mountain hut. Nice staff and good food and drinks.
