A lovely circular route in Vallespir, partly on a very good path and partly off-trail, offering varied scenery.

A lovely loop offering 360° views and glimpses of the Capcir, Madres and Canigou peaks. Added to this are the two magnificent lakes you pass by. Part of the hike is off-trail, so you need to know how to find your way.

The Camporells Lakes are magnificent. This loop is varied and avoids having to make a return trip. The outward journey is little known and you don't come across many people.

A very beautiful circular on excellent, scenic trails, mostly through forest. Superb 360° view from the ridge, overlooking the Canigou massif, the peaks of Spain and the Costabonne.

A lovely walk through the woods, best enjoyed in autumn due to the varied, colourful vegetation and beautiful views of the foothills of Canigou.

Magnificent restored chapel and hike through the woods.

This hike takes place in the woods, but offers beautiful views of the Vallespir (Roc Saint-Sauveur) and Canigou. Avoid when it is too hot.

This peak is less well known than its neighbour, Pic Néoulous (Pic Neulos). Marked trail (PRLAR11) on beautiful paths through the woods in the Albères.

A very beautiful hike, mostly through woodland, but with plenty of variety. The trails are fully marked and very beautiful.

A very beautiful hike, partly on marked trails. The route includes a circular path on the map that is not marked, where the descent to the Cascade des Anglais is very steep for 100 metres and should not be attempted if it is raining or still wet. In case of bad weather, plan to descend via the usual trail.

The ascent of the Crête de la Plane offers superb views of the Pic de Bure and the whole of Dévoluy. The first part of the hike, up to the Col de Rabou, follows theGRP® du Tour du Dévoluy, which is very well marked. After Col de Rabou, the route is no longer marked and is off-trail. There are no particular difficulties as you follow the ridge. However, good visibility and the ability to navigate with a map and compass are required.

Most of the route follows theGRP® Tour du Dévoluy trail markedGR®94. For the return journey, rather than going back the same way, you can vary the route by returning via Small Pass and Le Charvet. This is an off-trail route. This alternative route must be taken in good visibility and requires the ability to use a map and compass, which is essential for off-trail hiking. The view from Le Chauvet over Le Dévoluy is magnificent.

This is a lovely loop that allows you to explore the Jujols nature reserve, with superb views of the Conflent peaks. The hike faces south-east, is very sunny and sheltered from the tramontane wind, and crosses pastoral areas. Shortcuts are possible on this loop (see description in the practical information section).

Loop around the Sant-Guillem Chapel offering beautiful views of the Vallespir.Caution: the Torrent de la Coumelade cannot be crossed during snowmelt or after heavy storms.

A lovely hike on a yellow-marked trail, mostly through the woods, with some beautiful views of the radiant coastline.

A very lovely walk in Vallespir, on a signposted path, but one that is rarely used, allowing you to spot chamois and marmots. See the ‘Practical Information’ section regarding the crossing of the Tech at the Ouillat huts ¹.

An easier way to climb this pleasant summit in Vallespir is from Arles-sur-Tech. (!) Access to the start of the hike is impossible by car: the road has been closed since 9 November 2024. Situation unchanged on 9 November 2025.

A little-visited but very pleasant area, in winter or early spring when the Canigou is covered in snow. The trail is mostly signposted and very well marked.

This route allows you to discover military remains (Vauban's cistern and redoubt) as well as former ore quarries (marble, manganese and talc) and, above all, superb panoramic views of the Têt and Cady valleys. You can also see Villefranche-de-Conflent and Fort Libéria from above. This is a fairly easy hike, but don't underestimate the length.

A pleasant outing along the Sahorre Canal and a historical walk among the remains of the iron route. Caution for those prone to vertigo: although the path along the canal is generally good, from (5) there are places where you have to walk straddling the canal, on narrow footbridges and areas where the edge of the canal is very narrow. Alternative route possible.

This is a pleasant circular route that allows you to discover the beautiful village of Corsavy and walk through a magnificent boxwood forest, where the sun hardly penetrates. The moss growing on the trunks and branches of the trees gives the forest a strange and mysterious character. The elevation gain is relatively low, but be careful, as at times the path is quite difficult to see and you need to pay close attention, especially if you don't have a GPS signal to follow the trail.

A very pleasant hike, but best avoided in summer. Beautiful views of Bugarach and the Corbières. Along the route, you can see the site of the old glass furnaces and taste the saltwater spring. The hike is classified as difficult because you need to know how to find your way, read a map and/or follow the GPS track. The GPS track and map are almost essential as there are many paths and the trails are not always well marked.

Hike on good trails that allow you to discover mountain chapels. Beautiful views of the Madres Massif. A visit to Conat is also interesting. The only difficulty is above Saint-Christophe Chapel: the trail is unmarked and sometimes difficult to see. It is necessary to know how to use a map and compass and/or how to follow a GPS track. However, it is possible to avoid this section and shorten the hike by connecting the points (3) to (9).

A walk offering beautiful views on the ascent of the Madres and Coronat massifs and on the descent towards the Canigou. It gives you a real sense of the importance of pastoral activity in the past, with numerous ruins along the way. The vegetation is varied; at the start there is a forest of holm oak; higher up, there are rockroses and broom. Please note: this walk is not really signposted and, although it generally follows good paths, it requires experience of off-trail walking. A trail map is useful, if not essential.

An easy hike through the woods on good paths, mostly signposted, which will take you to the remains of the old talc mine.
