The Spijeoles ascension from the barns of Astau and the refuge d'Espingo (normal route) is quite long though without any real difficulty (aside from in foggy conditions). Even in Summer and in good weather conditions, it is reserved for skilled hikers. It offers a superb panorama on the central Pyrenees and la vallée de Luchon. The 2000 m climb often requires a sleep at le refuge d'Espingo.[2]
