In order to have a successful hike and to cover your kilometres in complete safety, there are a few universal rules to respect, and approaches to adopt.


The website www.reussirmarando.com lists all the good practices.

Recommendations

Before you leave :

  • Check your equipment, the difficulty of the circuit and the weather conditions
  • If you are going alone, communicate your itinerary to friends and family
  • Check the fire map on the website www.jaimelagriculture64.fr

In the mountains / pastoral areas :

  • Follow the marked paths and close gates after passing through
  • Respect nature and bring waste back
  • If accompanied by a dog, make sure that it is allowed on the chosen route and keep it on a lead
  • During the hunting season, avoid hunting areas or turn back
  • Go around herds and do not approach farm dogs (do not feed them or pet them)
National Park :
  • The heart of the National Park is a natural territory and is open to all, but is subject to a code of conduct. Dogs are not allowed, even on a lead. More about the Park : www.pyrenees-parcnational.fr
  • No fires, no mountain bikes, no wild camping, only bivouacs are allowed - a small tent can be set up for the night from 7 pm and taken down in the morning before 9 am. It must be set up more than 1 hour’s walk from any motorised access.
