A fantastic hike from the Col du Tourmalet. Unfortunately, the recording failed on the way. It's about 8 kilometers to the Pic, the way back is the same route. Further information is available on our website zimmermitausblick.de

Alone at the top! Fairly windy night and little sleep, but beautiful sky!
