Don’t be in a hurry to leave Oloron, the beautiful old capital of Haut-Béarn. But when you finally do, from the top of Sainte-Croix, you’ll look out over the gorge that the Gave d’Aspe has carved into the Pyrenean mountain wall. It is precisely this same Gave that the trail you’re about to take follows. Before that, it will have meandered through the countryside. Then suddenly you’ll enter a deep gorge, as secluded as you could wish for, all the way to Sarrance—a major center of Christianity as well as of the ancient Pyrenean religion?
Be careful: starting from Escot, the trail becomes a “classic” mountain trail with narrow paths and, at times, steep drops straight down to the Gave.
