Detailed stages
1 - Leave your vehicle in the village car park and head towards the village exit in the direction of the Astau barns. Before the bridge, a small sign invites you to turn right onto a tarmac road that quickly becomes a track. The climb is mainly in the shade, making this a good afternoon hike. This path is on the left bank of the Neste d'Oô.
2 - The climb is gentle and steady. You will pass through the barns of Espoujau (1,022 m). After going through a metal gate, you will see the destination of your hike, the Granges d'Astau.
3 - In a few minutes, you will cross the Pont d'Astau bridge to reach the barns, where you can take a break on the terrace of one of the two inns on the site.
4 - The return journey is via the same route.
