From the col (signpost # 104), we headed east along a track to signpost #105 where we forked right and continued ascending along a good trail in the woods. We were soon on the mountain ridge but only after 30 min or so we were able to admire the scenery to the south. We descended a bit, and reached a col where a 30m3 underground water reservoir had been built. We continued to the east and soon reached Pic de l’Aiglo where we had 360° views, including the still snow-capped peaks in the north.

This kind of fresh greenery cannot be experienced  but for a few weeks in the spring. During our picnic at the summit, a lone golden eagle soared high above us.

We descended back to the first mountain pass with the reservoir, and followed the dirt trac on the northern side of the forested mountain ridge before we merged with our ascending trail.
