An exceptional route starting from Ansignan and its famous Roman aqueduct, where you will discover the beautiful village of Saint-Arnac and a sumptuous panorama at Pic Vergès.
The dolmens of Trilla
On the heights between Ansignan and Lac de Caramany, the village of Truilla clings to its granite mountain. The first inhabitants used the boulders scattered across the area to build their tombs. The trail winds through this landscape of ridges and granite chaos, connecting two of these dolmens lost in the heart of the vineyards.
Recent information: fences have been installed between points 6 and 7, preventing access.

The ridge of the Serre du Grau de Maury
An exceptional hike, but:
- the 6 km ridge walk from Grau de Maury to La Quille.
- the route passes close to steep cliffs and includes a section of rock climbing, so it is strongly advised against for people who are prone to vertigo.
Only experienced hikers in good physical condition and accustomed to rocky terrain can complete this hike safely.
GPX track essential. Be prepared to turn back if necessary.

Ille-sur-Têt - Montalba-le-Château - Rodès via old paths and canals
Hike to discover this low mountain range that was once exploited by humans. Numerous terraces bear witness to this past. Vines were cultivated here. Mechanisation marked the end of the exploitation of these wild and difficult-to-access areas.
Yellow markings are virtually non-existent, and recent directional posts have been installed (observed at the end of January 2024). They are not really relevant. A GPX track is necessary on this route with its many paths.
