Is it possible to avoid the crowds in Cirque de Gavarnie?

[yberm]

Salut,

I am travelling next week for several days to the Vignemale massif and have a free half a day, in which I planned going to Cirque de Gavarnie. What is the best and nicest way to go there or travel around the cirque during the high season?

Thanks!

Yes, many possibilities to avoid the crowds:
- By night
- By a little way who beginning juste after the first brige, at the right.
- By here: https://blog.elkami.fr/les-rochers-blancs/ but is still dangerous for beginner.

Hi
You can go n'y a path starting around the ASPTT shelter of Pailla. The path is visible on the IGN card.
Starting early can also prevent you from too many people.
Plateau de bellevue also offers a tremendous view on the circle.
Have a Nice walk

Je rebondis sur ce post très intéressant concernant Gavarnie. Merci Elkami pour les belles photos. Une question concernant les rochers blancs et l'ascension du Grand Astazou: crampon et piolet nécessaires en plus du beau temps? J'aimerai bien y aller mais les commentaires du blog font autant flipper, si ce n'est plus, que la foule gavarnienne

Sorry for my english. I am quite afraid too by the crowds
