Road closed from 30/11 to 15/04, trail inaccessible.
A beautiful hike starting from Port de Balès. You will pass by Lake Bordères and then climb to Pic du Lion, the highlight of the day. This route will allow you to explore the GR de Pays Oueil-Larboust, a 43 km long trail.
From Port de Balès, take the trail 50 m before the pass, which will take you to Port de Pierrefitte via a track and then to Lake Bordères via a trail. At the lake, follow the trail climbing up to the left, marked in yellow and red (beware of herds with Patou dogs).
Please note that dogs are not allowed in the Massif du Montious reserve.
1 - From the Port de Balès (1,755 m), take the track leading to the Port de Pierrefitte and its cromlechs (1,857 m) (signpost no. 21).
2 - When you reach the pass, take the path down to Lake Bordères (sign).
3 - At the lake (1,766 m), take the path on the left overlooking the lake. The path climbs up a small valley to the Col du Lion (2,004 m). -"
4 - At the pass, take the steep path up on your left; the summit is a few minutes away. It is a magnificent viewpoint straddling the Haute-Garonne and the Hautes-Pyrénées.
5 - Return via the same route or via the ridge that descends towards the Port de Pierrefitte.
