(*) About Cagire: A few steps from Aspet, in the heart of the central Pyrenees, in Haute-Garonne, the Pic de Cagire and its 1,912 meters of altitude act as a beacon! The green slopes of the Pic de Cagire are visible to all from the Piedmont and in the plain towards Saint-Gaudens. The summit is located on the border between the municipalities of Juzet-d'Izaut and Sengouagnet. Despite its relatively low altitude, the photo is very visible due to its advanced position compared to the rest of the Pyrenean chain! It is a real symbol in Haute-Garonne and particularly in Comminges! The Cagire massif is a beautiful summer pasture area of ​​140 hectares on which cows and horses graze. They meet there from June to October to enjoy the fresh mountain grass. However, during your walk, pay attention to the herds but also to the patous (herding dogs). Be careful not to disturb them.The Cagire – Gar area is included in a Natura 2000 protection zone under the Xerothermic Rocky Areas of the Marignac basin, Saint-Béat, Pic du Gar, mountain.
