A beautiful transitional port between the Le Ger river valley and the Garonne river valley

the entry fee is €3

Beautiful view from the basilica on the Sainte Marie Cathedral of Saint Bertrand de Comminges.

Very beautiful natural lake with picnic tables.

This is essentially a 14km clockwise loop. The ascent to the peaks is pretty well marked out although I’d always suggest downloading an offline route map. It’s not particularly technical just some simple clambering over a few steep rocky sections before the 1st col (Teyech). I wouldn’t fancy that rocky section if it’s frozen mind you. After the 2 stunning peaks the rest of the loop is a few kms along the ridge before turning down back through the forest. If it’s snowy, you’ll very easily lose the path (i did a lot) so another good reason to download the route.

Small and very pretty town at the foot of Port Balès. It is worth stopping at the town fountain to take a breather before the climb to Port de Balès.

This pretty little lake in the Pyrenean foothills bears the name of the eponymous town which adjoins it. It is located on the heights of the Garonne, not far from its confluence with the Pique.

Magnificent view for the climb to the pass from Artichan-de-Frontignes, however I found the climb on the other side (from the Col de Buret) more interesting because it was a little longer.
