The Val d'Azun is a green pastoral valley between Argelès-Gazost and the Col du Soulor, at the gateway to the Parc National des Pyrénées. The numbered loops run through forests and meadows and past lakes such as the Lac de Soum, and several start from the Col du Soulor and the Col de Couraduque. Here the focus is on peace, grazing animals and views rather than speed.
