Our itinery today is the famous Chemin de la Mature (means Track of Spars, the track was cut out in a rock in 18th century to drag by the mules down from the mountains the spars). The track looks like a deep groove cut with a giant knife in a absolutely vertical cliffs. We go up by the track to the pass Col de Aras (1280m), then over the pass Redo (955m) back to the car. The trip longs 5 hours in total.
We take a lunch in a center of Etsaut village near the church and drive towards the Spain – almost to the Somport tunnel. Before the entry in the tunnel we turn left by the old road and stop near Peyrenere. There we make a short stroll to the Gentian plato.
