The big brother of the PC 19 route, this one will reward you with unobstructed views of the imposing Pic du Gar and the pretty Barousse valley. This route is a little more physically demanding than its younger sibling. It also has some slightly more technical sections, particularly on the descent.

As surprising as it is beautiful, this hike has plenty of surprises in store for you. The hike will first take you to the Esputs (or Sputs) chapel, nestled on a promontory. Every year in September, a pilgrimage takes place with the inhabitants of Chaum and the surrounding villages. After mass at the chapel, everyone climbs up together and ends with a picnic.

This is a walk from village to village that is accessible to the whole family. You will be charmed by the local architecture along this route between the villages. You can also enjoy Lake Saint-Pé, located a few minutes away.

You'll get a good workout for your calves. This route, one of the longest in this mountain biking area, will take you between the Frontignes and the Sauveterre basin, on the first slopes of the Pyrenean foothills, culminating in a passage through the Col des Ares. This technical and long route will test all your mountain biking skills and physical fitness.

Stroll through the sunny villages of the Frontignes and admire the indomitable Pic du Gar mountain range. A family walk that will take you along paths that are not particularly difficult but do have a slight incline that should be taken into account.

The climb up the Portillon Pass through the pine trees will not leave you indifferent. It is a Category 1 pass (average gradient 6.8%, maximum gradient 8.2%).

Each bend in the climb up the Col du Portillon honours one of the Spanish winners of the Tour de France, with a stele summarising their victories. The view is worth stopping for a moment to contemplate.

Pass through Saint-Bertrand de Comminges and you will be climbing towards the Port de Balès. This unclassified pass (average gradient 6.3%, maximum 11.7%) is tough, but at the top you will be rewarded with an exceptional 360° panorama of the high peaks of the Pyrenees.

It was built by the Lords of Saint-Béat to ensure the protection of the city and the control of the valley. It was enlarged by its consuls, and under Henry IV, as well as the city was equipped with walls and gates. It was held by captains of arms until the 16th century, and if necessary, they did not hesitate to requisition the citizens of Melles to keep the place. Over the centuries, the castle did not have to endure any important military events, so it has been preserved in its present state.
