Itinerary description
This is a lovely sky race.
Starting from the center of Marsous, we followed D603 for a few meters until we entered to the hiking path (appears on the right), which led us to D105. From here, all the way straight on until Lac du Tech. This is a great spot for pictures.
D105 opens a path on the right to be followed for about 6km. Then, around km 12.5, there is a split and we took the right. If you continue straight on you will find 2 lakes: Lac d'Uzious and Lac du Lavedan (on the left), but if you follow the path on the right as we did you will find around km #14 a very tiny lake on the left and a bit before km #15 another one (even tinier) named Lacs de Louesque.
At this point, you can see on your right the Grand Gabizos peak (2.692m)
Then, all the way down this path until km #19. At this point we have reached the town Gourette, but of course instead of going to the town we took the first path on the right to keep on playing in the mountains :)
This main way took us to another hiking route on that appears on the right after 700-800m. Again, follow the path and enjoy. Around km #22.6 you will need to cross the road and keep on going straight.
The last part is quite steep and not easy to run. It would suit more going up-stairs :D
The fastest female athlete did this trail in about 4hrs. I´m a very fit non-athlete and it took me 6hrs. I guess that for a regular female runner it could take 7-8hrs, it´s challenging but AMAZING! :) :)
