Cirque de Garbetou.
Above the valley you can see a very beautiful waterfall thundering down, you wouldn't say it, but that will be the next goal of the route. The very hilly path now rises very quickly and after some puffing you come to the edge of the waterfall, in the spring you will certainly have to cross some snow fields here. Now one last steep climb and you reach the beautiful Etang du Garbet. At the lake you have a view of the Pic de la Fouradade, the Pic de Coumale and the Pic de la Lesse. After a well-earned break, you return to the starting point via the same route. For those who want to take it even higher, there is the possibility to hike to L'étang Blue at an altitude of 2000 meters.
