At the foot of Rus

The Rus, a cos that rises between Sentenac d'Oust and Rogalle and is accessible from the Col de l'Artigue located 25 minutes from Saint-Girons. Calm and relaxing, this walk aims to help you discover the mountains while remaining accessible to all.

If you wish to climb the cos on foot, the view widens and you will have the chance to see Mont Valier (2838 m altitude) on the left; in the center the antenna of the Bouirex repeater (1551 m altitude) and on the right the Cap de Bouirex (1874 m altitude).

Additional Information :
You are in the heart of the Ariège Pyrenees Natural Park.

-We encourage you to adopt responsible behavior in this fragile and shared environment.

-Stay on the trails and take your waste with you.

-Observe the flora without picking it.

-Stay discreet, for wild animals.

-In summer pasture areas, remember to close fences and gates. Do not approach or feed the animals. If a Patou (a livestock protection dog) approaches you, move away slowly and calmly. No large gestures or shouting, even if it barks, as it will consider you a threat. If it follows you, ignore it.

-Swimming in lakes is not recommended. Sunscreen (even organic!) and other cosmetics are a source of pollution in this fragile environment.

- Bivouacking is permitted, but only between 19 p.m. and 9 a.m., and more than an hour's walk from a parking lot.

-During drought, all fires are prohibited. In other cases, fires are only permitted more than 200m from a forest. Stoves should be used instead of natural fireplaces.

-In the unlikely event of an encounter with a bear (which will try to avoid us at all costs): show yourself calmly, move away gradually, and do not run.

We advise you to keep dogs on a leash, especially in summer pasture areas where it would be dangerous for you and your dog if it approached the herds due to the presence of Patous.
