With more than 18 kilometers and more than 1,500 altimeters, this walk is a considerable day's distance. You start at Refuge Basse Rua. This is a nice refuge where you can eat and spend the night, should you decide to stay longer in this area after your hike. You can also walk the Crête de Vars (komoot.com/nl-nl/tour/721975043
