Itinerary

[edit]

From the village of Lescun, go between the bridges of Masousa and Lamareich, and follow the track into the small valley of Ansabère. After the bridge of Lamary at 1,171 m (3,842 ft), one must follow the footpath until the Ansabère huts at 1,570 m (5,151 ft), dominated by the Aiguilles d'Ansabère and Pic d'Ansabère.[2] From there, the path continues to the left around a rocky chaos, and climbs in grassy slopes to reach the basin housing the miniature lake of Ansabère.[3]
