Tour of the Baronnies de Bigorre (Hautes-Pyrénées)
|
|
Starting in Uzer, this hike through the heart of the Baronnies de Bigorre reveals a preserved area of the Hautes-Pyrénées, nicknamed the "Little Amazon" for its lush forests of boxwood and moss. The trail quickly leads to the Escaladieu Abbey, a 12th-century Cistercian gem, before passing through charming villages like Bonnemazon and Bourg-de-Bigorre, where the rural stone architecture remains intact. Climbing towards Esparros, hikers discover a fascinating geological heritage, notably its chasm famous for its unique aragonite deposits. The landscape is composed of verdant hills and hidden valleys where nature reclaims its territory between Bioussa and Asque. This route offers a striking contrast between the gentle meadows and the mystical aspect of the deep undergrowth of the Gourgue d'Asque.
