Description

EN: inspiring route with lovely views over summits and valleys around, nicer that you should expect when crossing a ski resort area.

ES: rutilla corta interesante que transita en las laderas de la estación de esquí de La Mongie (Grand Tourmalet). La cima del Taoulet brinda unas vistas magníficas hacia las cumbres y valles circundantes
