Lake of Lhurs under the bow of La Mesa (it is ship-shaped) with a free confortable mountain hut (opened in week-end). The way is to the east for a coulouir full of pieces of rocks very inclined (in winter generally is covered of snow and ice) to the
Col of Lhurs (from this point is the same of final route of Belagua to arrive to the summit through a path and a chimney of grade I).
