We started with a hazy day in the morning. The trail was good and easy to hike until we reached Col d'Artzatey aft lunch. Again we met many hikers. At the Col is a signpost and we could see other hikers looking down the cliff. The first few steps where ok and than the tuffest decent of the whole hike started. The trail was partly hacked into the mountain side and fixed cables were installed. Without the cables it would have been very, very difficult to get down. Even with them it took quite some time before we reached the bottom. Once down it became an easy hike to Bidarray where we staid indoors for the night.
