Itinerary description
A very rewarding route. Starting from Gavarnie, head up to the cascade. After the Hotel du Cirque, take the path on the right crossing the stream and look for the small trail on your right to the top.
This is the "dangerous" part of the route though there are backpackers following it too.
Once you are on top of the cirque, keep running up to the refuge between Sarradets and the Brêche. Mind to bring some water or check beforehand if the refuge is open. If not, as it was my case, there is a water stream coming down from Sarradets.
From the refuge go left for a short visit to the Brêche and Spain or to the right back to Gavarnier. The fastest, way as in the track, is to go down next to the stream and reach the valley. Once in the valley run as if there was no tomorrow and enjoy your way back :)
