Itinerary

From the village of Lescun, go between the bridges of Masousa and Lamareich, and follow the track into the small valley of Ansabère. After the bridge of Lamary at 1,171 m (3,842 ft), one must follow the footpath until the Ansabère huts at 1,570 m (5,151 ft), dominated by the Aiguilles d'Ansabère and Pic d'Ansabère.[1] From there, the path continues to the left around a rocky chaos, and climbs in grassy slopes to reach the basin housing the miniature lake of Ansabère.[2]
