Lac de Peyreget

Highlight • Lake

This small body of water is located at 2,074 meters above sea level. You will find around a flat ground and a beautiful thick lawn, perfect for the bivouac.

At Lake Peyreget you are really at the foot of the Pic du Midi d'Ossau, and a moraine which has flowed from the slopes of the Midi d'Ossau massif stops right on the banks of the lake. The place is one of a kind.

Peyreget Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At the Col de Peyreget, you are at an altitude of 2,313 meters and you benefit from a 360-degree panorama of all the peaks that surround you. This passage from the HRP is a marvel in terms of points of view. Pic de Peyreget, valley of Arrious, small peak of Midi d'Ossau, there are beautiful people to photograph.

Lakes Below Col de Peyreget

Highlight • Lake

This small string of lakes accompanies you on the descent to Peygeret Lake. In the height of the season, you will appreciate being able to plunge your hands into it to wash your face with cold water.

Look around you, wildlife is never far away, especially in the sky. Raptors appreciate these rocky sites, protected at medium altitude.

Lake Pombie

Highlight • Lake

Lake Pombie is a glacial mountain lake located at an altitude of 2,031 meters. Accessible by different passes to the east and south, it represents a beautiful spot for a stopover. From Pombie you are ideally placed to admire the Pic du Midi d'Ossau and its little brother the Petit Pic du Midi d'Ossau.

Pombie Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Pombie mountain refuge is ideal, it has complete services, it is relatively close to the car park, there is a beautiful mountain lake next to it and it is at the foot of one of the most unique and endearing mountains in the Pyrenees. And for all this it is a quite crowded place, you can even see people observing with binoculars the climbing ropes that roam the routes of the south and east faces. The path to the top continues straight on towards Col de Suzón, where the ascent begins. The route turns to the left of the refuge, heading west, around the lake and up the steps carved by the old Quaternary glaciers between the Midi and the Peyreget. In each niche excavated by the ice there is a lake and the ascent is an entertaining journey with the contrasts of the beauty of the mountain lakes and the fierceness of the fangs of volcanic materials that try to puncture the sky.
