OUR RESTAURANT L'ISARD PERCHÉ

On June 18, we opened our tearoom, bar, restaurant, Isard Perché, located 200 meters from the chalets in the heart of the village. We wanted a cozy space with a chalet-style decoration all in modernity and comfort. Fireplace, welcoming sofas, wooden furniture and interior, modern decoration and trendy musical atmosphere, the place is warm and pleasant with its large terrace in the sun as a bonus.
If you add to the atmosphere, the good smell of cookies coming out of the oven, no doubt, you will love the perched isard!
A place for a relaxing break after skiing or hiking around a hot drink and homemade pastries.
On the catering side, the offer is smaller for the moment with hearty and gourmet charcuterie boards allowing you to discover local products (cold cuts and cheeses from the Val d'Azun) and homemade cakes. "We wanted to start slowly to find our landmarks".
From the winter season, Isard Perché will offer grills. The kitchen is ready to welcome a chef to start the catering.
The restaurant will reflect the place, in a mountain and family spirit that resembles the village and the Val d'Azun!
L'isard perché is open every day except Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the summer season.
And from Friday to Monday in low season

IDÉE RANDONNÉE 6 : Val d’Azun Le Lac Nère / Lac plaa de prat

IDÉE RANDONNÉE 6 : Val d’Azun Le Lac Nère / Lac plaa de prat

21 May 20

HIKING IDEA 6: Val d'Azun Le Lac Nère / Lac plaa de prat

THE VIDEO WALK

Difficulty :
Medium
Start : Lac d'Estaing
Arrival : Lac Nère 2241m
Elevation : 1344m positive and 1343m negative
Distance : 17.65 km round trip
Walking time : 5 to 6h round trip without breaks
Miscellaneous: Above Lake Estaing, you enter the Pyrenees national park.

Access :

Plan this day for this hike.
We started from Lac d'Estaing which is accessible by car.
It is only 10 minutes drive from Arrens.
To save time and if the barrier is open, go to the other side of the lake and continue on the path until you reach a small parking lot.

Park, put on your hiking shoes, take your backpack and let's go !!!

Description:

It left for 1:30 , see 2 hours (with children) ascent to Plaa de Prat. Follow the path for about thirty minutes, cross the plasi bridge, then follow the path which goes up in laces and then joins the forest.
Leaving the forest, the path joins a stream at the bottom of the valley.
You will walk among cows and sheep, a treat for children!
You will pass near the Toue de la Cétira (typical habitat of the Val d'Azun).
You are at this location in the Pyrenees National Park. Pay attention to the regulations!
A little further, a first lake, the Langle lake then, a little higher is the Plaa De Prat Lake (1656m).
An ideal setting for an afternoon with the family, indeed, this place is relatively flat, a real playground, with a view ^^
For the bravest, like us, okay, we are smart because we had not brought Martin 😉
You can go explore a little higher. Our goal is to climb to Lac Nère (2217).
To get there, go to the cabin, a little further, a sign indicates two directions. Take on the left, the direction of Lac du Pic Arrouy.
A steep path starts in the summer pasture and heads towards the forest.
The path crosses a small stream. A magnificent waterfall borders the very steep path. Follow the path that comes out of the forest.
You will see in the distance a hut "Les Masseys". In summer, do not hesitate to go and visit the shepherd Stéphane Iriberri, well known for making the transhumance of Gironde each year so far, in the Val d'Azun with and its 600 sheep.
Stéphane will show you the path to take to Lake Nère, if not, turn around and continue to climb due east (on your right). You only have 45 minutes left to reach the lake !!Well, I'm not going to hide from you that it climbs a lot, but everyone is capable of doing it, I'm actually not a very big sportswoman!
Continue on the path that follows another stream. It must be crossed on a flat part. The path starts very steep in the rocks, then, in the middle of some trees.
Continue to climb this path through the rocks then follow the switchbacks. Turn around, the view is breathtaking!
Lake Nère is a little higher.
The return will be made by the same way in opposite direction.
We took 3h and made 8.17kms from Lac d'Estaing to Lac Nère, and 2h for the return; which is largely doable during the day.
If you have children, I advise you to simply go to Plaa de Prat.

IDÉE RANDONNÉE 5 : Cauterets, Refuge les Oulettes de Gaube

HIKING IDEA 5: Cauterets, Refuge les Oulettes de Gaube

THE VIDEO WALK

Difficulty : Medium
Start : Parking at the Pont d'Espagne in Cauterets
Arrival : Refuge Des Oulettes de Gaube   (2148 m) Breathtaking view of the Vignemale
Elevation : 730m positive and 731m negative
Distance : 15 km round trip
Walking time : 5h30 round trip
Miscellaneous: dogs prohibited, we are in the Pyrenees national park


Access :

In Cauterets (35min drive from the chalets), take the direction of the Pont d'Espagne car park, then park, it's time to put on your hiking shoes, put your picnic in your backpack and off you go!


Description:

Follow the direction of Lac de Gaube, on foot or by cable car if you want to save time.
When you get to the lake follow the sign for the refuge, you will go around the lake on the right, then climb up, stay on the path which climbs quite a bit at times but which is always well marked.
You see in the distance the Vignemale massif, it seems close enough but you will realize that it is not that much, the end of the hike is rather easy, it is quite flat except 2 places that climb not bad but these are quite brief.
Above all don't be discouraged, the view is breathtaking from the refuge, it is really worth it!

Good hike!

Continue on the path which passes at the foot of the "Toue de Labassa" and arrives at the fork for the "Ledormeur" refuge.
The path climbs in laces, it is well marked on the ground, continue for a few minutes, raise your head, you see the solar panels of the refuge.

It is necessary to pass the breach of the Garénère located behind the refuge.
This breach is not difficult to cross even if you sometimes have to use your hands.

At this lake, you can continue on the path that runs along it on your left.
