Hi everybody. I am new to this Forum. I will go to Toulouse, FR for a while and would like to do some hikes in the Pyrenees. Especially Breche De Roland, starting from Cirque de Gavarnie. I would like to do it in Spring, just to avoid big crowds.
Is there anybody who hiked there recently and could share a trip report, and potential dangers, especially up in the snowfields?
Tourist information says the trail is open to hikers with technical gear.
I do have crampons an axe and appropriate clothing.
Not sure about climbing equipment on this route.
Anyways, I would like to make it a day hike next weekend, if anyone can share some information that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
