In the event the Gourgs Blancs glacier no longer exists, just a small patch of snow remains. Escapade de 3 jours avec le JC dans le luchonnais, Lac d'Ôo, Lac d'Espingo, Lac Saussat, Lac du Portillon et col inférieur de Litérol à la frontière Espagnole. Some are small and scary. Dies verdankt er neben einer günstigen Topographie dem Umstand, dass seine Zunge im unteren Bereich vollkommen mit Moränenschutt bedeckt ist.

If a trailhead of a peak it's in an area I think that the peak must be appear in the area, even the peak will be in two areas. Since we were not equipped with crampons, we must pick our way to negotiate glassy ice flows. Tables, chairs, a stove (bring your own wood from the valley), even mattresses.Through the night I could see twinkling shooting stars in the valley below – headtorches.Another discovery. As for Bigorre/Luchon, I'll try to implement the repartition I proposed just to have a look; if it is too confusing we can always come back to the initial zones as they are now.Indeed, I carried few researches about the origins of the "Bigorre", and found out the Nestes valleys (Aure and Louron) were not always a part of the Bigorre Kingdom (when they were, only an unsignificant part).

L’endroit se trouve juste sous le lac des Isclots (2398m). Glacier des Gourgs Blancs Au refuge du Portillon, des randonneurs viennent de rebrousser chemin alors qu’ils tentaient de rejoindre le refuge de La Soula. Elle est béarnaise.Le refuge est un rien « kitch ».
Ils sont à portée de main.Toute l’équipe avance à un bon rythme. On the opposite the Luchon area is very small in superficy compared to it (the french department 31, Haute Garonne). It's the reality, Benasque, Bigorre or Ordesa/Gavarnie have a lot of peaks and Luchon has less peaks.Sure, if we take water divides to define zones, then peaks tend to be located on borders of 2 zones: then the most logic is to attach the peak to the two zones as often as the peak is accessed from both sides.
The route is the centre of the ridge.

Il y aura même du rab de saucisses et de garbure. I didn’t stay here either, having booked into La Soula.The stage between La Soula and the Portillon refuge has a bad reputation and I left well before dawn. WC sur les paliers, face aux escaliers en bois. In my opinion the most important thing is the trailhead and not the correct situation of the peak.
This is partly due to the fact that the whole Vignemale group was wrongly attached to the Béarn and I corrected it few days ago.
The same way exactly when a peak is on the international border, when we attach it both to spain and france. Inquiet de ne pas les voir arriver pour la soirée, le gardien de La Soula a même alerté la protection civile qui est venue vérifier, en hélicoptère, ce qui se passait…Tout démarre très bien avec une montée facile au Tusse de Montarqué (2889m) et au col du Pluviomètre (2874m) situé à côté. Really the most tiring stuff to walk on especially in trail-running shoes since you have to be very careful not to twist a foot. On the other hand, Néouvielle and neighbours remain in the Bigorre. You climb the entire glacier with crampons.
12 Ago 2015. In fact the confusion might come from the fact the Aure & Louron belong to the "65" departement (Haute Pyrénées) and not "31" (Haute Garonne, Luchon). Looking to North from Perdiguero summit - panoramio.jpg 3,072 × 2,304; 1.63 MB.
