One way to get to the Taillon peak is to park one's car at the col des Tentes (from Gavarnie, follow the route that goes up to the skiing resort and carry on to the terminus). From there, walk to the col de Boucharo then take left to follow the path from the flanc to the waterfall. One then reaches the refuge des Sarradets (also called refuge de la Brèche de Roland). Follow the path up to la brèche onto the Spanish slope. A view then beckons on the top of the cirque de Gavarnie and the Falls. Even in summer, this segment can be covered in snow. Borrow the path on the right leading to le Doigt de la Fausse Brèche which then heads straight up to the pic du Taillon.
