This circular loop, which is mostly in open country, follows short stretches of road (departmental road) and tarmac paths, offering lovely panoramic views of the Pyrenean foothills and the summit of Cagire in particular. It passes through the hamlet of Lebrats in Saint-Martin and runs alongside Rouède before returning to the starting point via several small hamlets on the edge of the Bagiri Forest.

This circular starting from Saint-Martin is a good warm-up to prepare you for climbing the Pyrenean peaks. It will take you down and then back up some pretty hills in the foothills, around Figarol, to reach the bed of the Garonne before climbing back up to the starting point, with the Cagire as your focal point.

This short circular route allows you to admire the Cornudère ridge, starting from the highest point of Saint-Martin de Salies, and to walk through cultivated fields and pastures, passing via the Col de Lamothe, with a few pleasantly shaded sections.

This long, fairly challenging circular route takes you up to Mont Aragnoué and its paragliding launch site via a well-shaded forest track, allowing for a relatively quick ascent, before a gentler descent via the Col d’Arbas and the western face of the Tucas, before returning to your starting point, the small village of Castelbiague.
