Discover ETABLISSEMENTS MAFSA in Laruns, Pyrénées Atlantiques

Climbing the Col d'Aubisque by bike is an unmissable experience in the Ossau valley. With its ribbon of asphalt winding its way out of the deep wooded valleys and onto the inviting high mountain pastures, the Aubisque is an emblematic Pyrenean pass. Electrically-assisted bikes offer the opportunity for any occasional sportsman, properly equipped and helmeted, to try the adventure of climbing one of the most dreaded passes in the Tour de France. With effort no longer an alienating factor, you'll have plenty of time to coax the wild beast by enjoying the shade of the hundred-year-old trees on the road to Eaux-Bonnes, to observe the basins and waterfalls of Le Valentin, to follow the gaze of flocks of sheep grazing in single file on the summit slopes. Effort management and discovery go hand in hand on the road to Gourette.

A border crossing between the Ossau valley and Spain, the Col du Pourtalet is reached by a fairly long but never steep route, crossing a wide variety of landscapes. As well as being a physical challenge, albeit mitigated by the use of electric assistance, climbing it by bike also allows you to immerse yourself in the heritage and historical dimension of the route. A communication route since the dawn of time, the Pourtalet route has seen the passage of merchants and peddlers, smugglers and pilgrims. Every year, the Gabas valley also plays host to the lively transhumance of flocks and herds to the bountiful summer pastures of the Pic du Midi d'Ossau. If, on leaving Laruns, the road boldly defies the Hourat gorges, it then makes a long, easy approach between the Gave and the boxwoods, passing through the Eaux-Chaudes spa and the cheese-salting village of Gabas.

Moving from one valley to the next is today?s program. After a gentle warm-up at the bottom of the valley, you'll make your way up the long, hard climb to the Col de Lansatté. This is where you leave the Vallée d'Ossau for the Vallée d'Aspe, and begin a beautiful descent. No shapé turns here. Only old paths and tracks, shaped by generations of shepherds with their sheep and cows on transhumance. The Chemin des Jauspins, which brings the stage to a close, is sure to make you forget your efforts of the day.

Discovering the villages of Ossal on a very easy route with no difficulties, on little used tarmac roads on the right bank, with more tracks on the left bank.

An attractive route that winds its way between villages and grand districts, offering exceptional views of the valley and surrounding peaks. The route, on tracks and main roads, presents no particular difficulties apart from its length and steepness.

This is a magnificent butterfly-shaped loop on a motorbike, which goes around the lower Ossau valley. You will ride in a green and pastoral environment, typical of the piedmont, offering spectacular panoramas on the massifs, first of all the Pic du Midi d'Ossau. You will discover small quiet roads, quiet and charming villages, and you will make a leap in the past: from the activity of the prehistoric men of the valley to the habits of the aristocracy of the XIXth century in the Haussmannian establishments of the thermal spa of Eaux-Bonnes. Finally, you can stop for a tasting in one of the farms along the road that produce the famous Ossau-Iraty sheep cheese!

What if you went to the Pombie refuge? Like Renardo, a little fox, when he made his first big trip? In the following story, Renardo tells you about the path he followed and his adventures. Of course, he does it with the words of a little fox, which are not which are not quite those of men. So to find the refuge of Pombie, you'll have to look at the mountain like Renardo and translate what he says.

A great classic of the Tour, with a 4-5% gradient up to Eaux-Bonnes, then the serious slopes up to Gourette (often 8%) before the final high mountain scenery amidst the high meadows and at the foot of the high peaks of Ger and Médaa, with the last 4 km at a regular 9%.

Attention, Following the landslide that occurred in the Commune of Laruns on May 3, 2023, access to the right bank of the Brousset is prohibited. In fact, this impacts the GR®108A Chemin de Saint-Jacques Voie d?Ossau between the road bridge of Ouradé and the pedestrian bridge that crosses the Brousset. Leaving behind the wide flat valley, this second stage of the Ossau Way takes up the delicate challenge of climbing a portion of landscape where the Pyrenean geomorphology has left only deep valleys and gorges. The path finally overcomes the difficulties and, by discreet paths under the cover of boxwood, it finds a haven of life in the hamlet of Gabas, famous for its cheese salting rooms.

Emblematic stage of the Chemin d'Ossau, the link between France and Spain is punctuated by the crossing of the Col des Moines. No real difficulty if the weather is good, just a long climb that you will start early. Above all, the pleasure of hiking in landscapes marked by the seal of living pastoralism, all under the authority of the majestic Pic du Midi d'Ossau.
