The farm dogs weren’t so welcoming and barked ferociously at us as we passed. We met a few walkers coming down from the refuge.

Where there is no access track helicopters deliver supplies for the season.This was a wondeful day in the mountains, fantastic panoramas 0n all sides; a series of cols and changing views of the majestic side valleys of the Aspe, Belonce and Baralet with Somport in the distance and periodic glimpses of the Pic de Midi d’Ossau to the east.
