IGN cards
Description
Trail accessible in winter.
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.
The trail starts on Avenue Cours de la Casseyde, to the right of cemetery no. 1. The path climbs steeply at first, then winds its way down to the village of Cazarilh. The return journey is through the forest, ending up opposite the SNCF train station.
One of the most beautiful views of Luchon, without taking the car!
