Visit this great site for hiking...

On foot or by bike, you are taken to and dropped off at the starting point of the hike. With my 4×4, I can even approach you by taking some forest roads in free access.

You will find your bags and your equipment not necessary for the hike at the arrival, at the hotel or at your home.

Just the pleasure of hiking, without the worries...

A wonderment

It is impossible to make this hike if you have only one car at your disposal. And even if you have two, you must first go and park vehicle n°1 in Val d'Arrens and then come back to the Lake of Fabrèges, it is two hours minimum. And when the hike is over, you have to go back to the Lake of Fabrèges to look for the vehicle N°2. Add 1h30. I might as well tell you that few make this effort...
And that's where I come in and offer my services and my vehicle. Of course, it's a budget (250€, time spent and kilometers covered) but it's a great ride! If you can afford it, this ride will satisfy you. You can offer it to yourself or to friends.

Four ways to approach this race
for all hikers

1. Fabrèges vers Val Arrens “tout rando”
(1455m de dénivelé)

  • FROM THE LAKE OF FABREGES, BY THE LAKE OF LURIEN
  • In the morning, we go up by the lake of Lurien (925m of difference in altitude), reach the lake of Artouste, go up to the pass of Artouste (530m of difference in altitude), follow the lake of Migouleou and finally go down to the Val d'Arrens.

2. Fabrèges vers Val Arrens “mixte”
(530m de dénivelé)

  • FROM THE LAKE OF FABREGES BY THE SMALL TRAIN OF ARTOUSTE
  • Go up in the morning by the cable car, take the Petit Train d'Artouste, reach the lake of Artouste, go up to the pass of Artouste (530m of difference in altitude), go along the lake of Migouleou and finally go down to the Val d'Arrens (details and price below)

3. Val Arrens vers Fabrèges “tout rando”
(1470m de dénivelé)

  • From the Val d'Arrens by returning by the lake of Lurien

4. Val Arrens vers Fabrèges “mixte”

I will wait for you at the bottom of the gondola. I can guarantee you that you will have a lot of fun with your boots but especially with your eyes.

The VTC cost is 300€ up to 3 people and 3 bikes

A nice gift to offer!
