From this spot you will have access to the ridges of the smaller hills, as well as the high peaks, which leads towards glacial lakes and rough ground. The most preferred areas include: Col de Puymorens, the Col de Pailheres & the Ariege Pyrenees.

The Pyrenees are considerable mountains, and the weather shifts rapidly, so handle them with respect. Always investigate the weather forecasts before you go out and make sure you are well prepared and equipped. Good walking shoes or hiking boots is important. If you aren't used to mountain walking, do yourself and the local rescue team a favor: get an experienced guide!
Your wonderful meeting with nature could turn into a bad trip unless you do.

Roaming about the Pyrenees by foot is worthwhile for bird-watchers who should be lucky enough to see vultures & eagles, and if plants are your thing, you can find more than 3000 species of flora.

Apart from walking in heart-swelling surroundings the area of Ax-les-Thermes has a lot more up its sleeve to contribute with . Being so close to Andorra - crossing the border for shopping or a visit to the casino is a possibility. So is visiting the castle at Montsegur almost 40km aside.

Reaching Ax-les-Thermes can take place by road or train. The railway station is on avenue Delcasse and you can catch a nonstop night train from Paris. The nearest airports are Toulouse Blagnac and Carcassonne.
