Alpine and watery canyon

Access: machine translated ➜

First from Lourdes via Luz-St.-Sauveur and Gedre to Gavarnie. As there are problems with parking in Gavarnie (overcrowding), we drive up on the D923 towards les Espécières and park our car in the Grange de Holle parking lot below the Refuge.\n\nAlso a conversion with access from the exit of the D923, Col de Tentes (2207m alt.) is possible. Then you would enter the stream further up (so at Plastic Visuel Canyon PVC 2 - Hautes Pyrenées. Groupe Spéléologique des Pyrénées, 2008, tour no. 14).

Approach (1 h 45): machine translated ➜

For "E1" - see location sketch (red access, brown return). There are variations on the hiking trails)

Tour (2 h 30): machine translated ➜

See photos and video; rappel sequence: C18 - c12 - C20 - C21, in between some smaller rappels.

Return (1 h): machine translated ➜

Exit at the Passarelle de la Planette. See location sketch (red access, brown return). There are variations on the hiking trails.
