- From the Argelès-sur-Mer SNCF train station, climb up to the Tour de la Massane via marked trails and paths.
- The hike can start from Valmy Castle near (3). See practical information.
I recommend reading the practical information section regarding the different routes.
The hike could be classified as difficult due to some very rough sections of the trail and the need for good navigation skills.
