Additionally, for those with a taste of aventure, you can climb the high peak of Crabère (2629m), which starts at Etang d’Araing, a lake.

Throughout the tour, you will be surrounded by examples of the valley’s rich mining history while surrounded by the stunning natural vistas. The route will take you, on average, between four and six hours per day. The weather is generally favourable between June and September.
