Before starting
Haut-Couserans is full of perfect places for walking, plan your itinerary.
Gather the necessary information on the route and adapt the timing to each one's personal physical condition.
It is highly advisable to know the weather forecast, because summer storms in the afternoon are quite frequent and rarely forecasted. If this is the case, and if there are lightnings, do not go under trees nor walk up the hills.
Tell somebody or in the tourist office the route you are planning to take, specially if you go on your own.
Carry just the basic stuff in your rucksack: bag for the litter, waterproofs, sun cream, hat, water, food, map, guide, personal documentation, emergency kit, toilet paper and mobile phone (although some areas still have no net coverage).
In summer, starting early in the morning to avoid the hottest hours of the day.
Respect the crops, fields, and herds; if you happen to open a gate or wire for animals, make sure it is closed again before continuing.
Emergency number (accidents, fires, robberies...): 112
