Last Sunday, a couple from Toulouse were intercepted at the Lannemezan toll by the gendarmes. He had just spent a week in a refuge in Bastan, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, at 2,240 meters above sea level.
Thursday, the soldiers this time verbalized a man who left to "confine" himself for two nights at the "Ledormeur" refuge, at 1,911 meters above sea level, near Lac du Tech, in the town of Arrens-Marsous, in Hautes- Pyrenees again.
It was a pedestrian mountain patrol that flushed out the free rider. He was fined for failing to comply with national directives concerning traffic restrictions before being escorted to his vehicle by the military. With the instruction to return home, in the Nantes region.

They want to prevent these kinds of outings from multiplying and sometimes ending in serious accidents that could overload the already busy emergency rooms. Saturday, the CRS mountain rescue of Lannemezan found near Piau-Engaly the body of a 28 year old hiker who had left alone the day before on the massif.
