Pic du Pas du Chien Map

Incursion dans l’Aston où le caractère sauvage du massif prend toute son ampleur à partir de la cabane des Ludines, après avoir quitté le GR10.

Description

Ne pas négliger la longueur du parcours, notamment à cause de ses passages hors sentiers, très humide. La crête en redescendant du Pic de Mile Roques est assez aérienne et nécessite de poser les mains. Ne pas hésiter à revenir sur ces traces par mauvais temps.

Difficulty

Severe

Hiking challenging trails where simple scrambling, with the occasional use of the hands, is a distinct possibility. The trails are often filled with all manner of obstacles both small and large, and the hills are very steep. Obstacles and challenges are often unexpected and can be unpredictable.
