46 - LA BOUCLE DES CROMLECHS
Description
Loop / presence of patou.
This is an "open" route, so you'll need to bring your hats in summer, but it's ideal in winter because of the sunshine. From these mysterious alignments, you can admire the typical valleys of Larboust and Oueil, as well as the resorts of Peyragudes and Luchon-Superbagnères.
Leave from the village of Benqué-Dessus and follow the yellow and red GRP or yellow n°46 signs to the cromlechs. At the top, turn left down to the bench, then left again to return to Benqué.

Detailed stages
1 - The path starts at the edge of the village of Benqué-Dessus. At the first crossroads, take the track leading up on your left, signposted in red and yellow (GRPays Oueil-Larboust) or yellow no. 46. Follow this track, passing through the 2 gates (remember to close them), until you come to a sign indicating the cromlechs on the ridge (1346m).
2 - The view of the high Luchon peaks is fantastic. At the cromlechs, descend to the left along the ridge. The descent is a little steep but not difficult.
3 - When you reach a junction with a small gate, turn left towards Benqué/Saint-Aventin.
4 - At the bench (1015m), turn left onto the path through the undergrowth, known as the Voie Claude, and in a few minutes you'll be back at your starting point.
