Extreme caution is being urged after two hikers died in separate incidents on the same Pyrenean trail on New Year's Day. The news comes less than a month after we reported on two deaths that occurred in the same region, following a deadly summer in the Pyrenees.
According to reporting by French newspaper The Connexion, both hikers were women in small groups that were walking on a trail between the Col de Menté and the summit of the Cagire mountain, a 6,273ft peak in the French Pyrenees. According to AllTrails, the seven-mile trail is rated as hard and involves an elevation gain of 2,660 feet.
