Join the 2025 Grand Trail of the Ossau Valley: 74 km and 4600 m of positive altitude difference in one of the wildest corners of the Pyrenees. From the Col de l'Aubisque to Marie-Blanque, via forgotten crests and breathtaking views, the GTVO takes you on an extraordinary trail journey. Solo or relay formula, for those who want to suffer... in pairs. The shorter but just as intense TVO will delight fans of steep slopes and raw beauty.
