Itinerary description

Petit Vignemale summit day trip. Pont d’Espagne - Lac de Gaube - Refugi de Oulettes de Gaube - Col de la Hourquette d’Ossoue- Petit Vignemale summit and return. Beautiful scenery and technically easy though good fitness is needed as it is a long day. No need for alpine climbing gear if ascending in the summer and no hands-on climbing required.
