DISCOVERING THE IBERIAN IBEX AND THE BROWN BEAR WITH A MOUNTAIN GUIDEOn the heights of the valley, above the Lastien waterfall (the waterfall of the fairies as some old people said), the Iberian ibexes are in the cliffs in winter then when the grass turns green in spring they gradually reach the cross-border ridges. It is a valley where the brown bear takes its habits, forest most of the time, it remains hidden. Large birds of prey, such as the bearded vulture or the golden eagle, have their range in the secret cliffs in certain years. It is a pastoral valley, it is still frequented by a herd of cows and a herd of sheep, but most of the barns are no longer in use. During these two days, we will slowly explore the territory of the Iberian ibexes and the brown bear in this valley or on the heights of the Cirque de Gérac from pond to pond. These two species have been reintroduced in the Pyrenees. We will try to observe the ibexes and maybe we will also be able to see chamois or some emblematic birds.You will be accommodated in the heart of nature, in the Granges du Cap d'Ossèse nestled in the heart of the Vallon d'Ossèse at the foot of the Port of Marterat in the Ustou Valley. When there is no snow, they are accessible by a small road, the starting point for hiking trails. The accommodation is ideal for a family (up to 4 people each).
