25 - LE TOUR DU PLATEAU DE CAMPSAURE
IGN cards
Description
Road closed from 30/11 to 15/04, trail inaccessible.
A family hike in the summer pastures. Sheep and cattle graze peacefully here. The view from the plateau allows you to admire the climb up to the Port de Vénasque, the Sauvegarde, the Pic de la Pique and many other peaks.
Start in front of the Hospice de France inn and follow the wide track towards the Pesson hut and the Campsaure plateau. At the junction with Fontaine Rouge, turn left and follow the path up to the plateau. Once on the plateau, turn left towards the hut, then turn left again to descend via the goat track.

Detailed stages
1 - Pass the inn and continue straight ahead on the track towards the Pesson hut. You will soon enter the forest.
2 - At the intersection (1,449 m), turn left towards ""Fontaine Rouge"". The slope becomes a little steeper but remains very accessible. The track then turns into a winding path. You will pass a spring where you can enjoy some refreshing water. The plateau is only a few minutes away.
3 - On the plateau, at the first intersection, continue straight ahead until you reach another crossroads. Take the track on your left (1,747 m). Take advantage of this gently sloping path to enjoy the scenery: Superbagnères, the valley leading to the Boums refuge, the 3000-metre peaks of Luchon. It's magnificent. On your right are the summer pastures where you can see cows, sheep, horses and sometimes chamois.
4 - Shortly before the hut at the end of the plateau, take the path on your left towards the Hospice de France (signposted – 1642m). You will re-enter the forest via the goat track and arrive a little later behind the Hospice de France building.
