In the heart of the Gourette cirque, escape to a higher vantage point. This hike will take you to the highest point of the Bézou plateau, through pastures where herds of cows, horses, and sheep are part of the scenery in a pastoral setting. Along the way, you'll discover the remains of an old shepherd's hut, a testament to the area's long history of shepherds grazing here.
