If you don't have much time but want to go hiking, head for Cazarilh. This superb promontory offers views of Luchon and the trail runs through the shade of the forest, making it ideal for a late afternoon walk.
From Cazarilh, you can continue to the Tour de Castel-Blancat and the GRP Oueil-Larboust.
Departure from Luchon station. The path climbs steeply at first, then twists and turns as you reach the village of Cazarilh. The return journey is through the forest, arriving opposite Luchon station.
One of the best views of Luchon, without taking the car!
