Itinerary description
A hike from Gavarnie to the cirque via the plateau de bellevue. The way back to Gavarnie goes via a high track on the opposite site of the valley. One part of the track was a little more difficult. The map didn't show a track but there clearly was a small track bringing us high to the right side of the cirque. There is no guarantee that this track is actively maintained, but there were a number of people walking the same track so it shouldn't be a problem. The views during this hike are absolutely worth it.

Hello, someone can say this track on the otherside will be possible to walk at this time 5 years later? Thanks. Look fantastic! Grts Chris
We did it out last year again, and yes, still good to go
Thanks, we will try it! :-)
And how many time for walking, enjoying view and some lunch time?
Last year we did it in almost 7 hours which included a meal at the hotel du cirque and all other breaks. I just uploaded the track of last year which has some slight variations that turned out to be improvements.

I have followed the route to the waterfalls (the track has helped me a lot). The return was along the tourist itinerary due to lack of time. Thanks.
