Around Vinça
A beautiful excursion in the Terres du Bas Conflent region, allowing you to discover four of its villages: Vinça, Finestret, Joch and Rigarda.
Pic des Maurous via Pic de Marbet and Roc de l'Agle
In the first part of the hike from Finestret to Pic des Maurous, the climb from the point (1) is quite demanding. The steep slope throughout this section requires a good level of fitness. It offers beautiful views of the north and east of the area, from the Madres Massif to the sea, passing through the plain and its villages, the Fenouillèdes and the Corbières in the distance.
The GPX track can be very useful.

Ruins of the old village of Las Cases
This is a hike that can be done even in winter and in the sunshine. We are in a region with a privileged climate. This easy circular hike of just over 8 km takes you through fragrant and colourful scrubland vegetation with the majestic Canigou massif as a backdrop.
The Guillera Gorges, the castle and the village of Rodès
This is a short, easy loop that offers beautiful views.
The Castle, the Guillera Gorges and Pic Pedrous via Casesnoves
With Rodès Castle and the Guillera Gorges to start the hike, the diversity of the next section offers spectacular heath and rock landscapes in the midst of a unique mineral environment. It feels like wandering through a world of giants who have placed rounded blocks of rock, forming piles of monumental boulders scattered among the broom and rockroses that dot the area.
Puig Pedrous from Montalba-le-Château
A lovely circular of two hours starting from Montalba-le-Château and passing through Puig Pedrous.
Around Montalba-le-Château
A short walk around Montalba-le-Château to enjoy the diversity of the landscapes.
Pic del Rosselló from Molitg-les-Bains
A hike with multiple panoramic views, ideal from October to May: very sunny. The GPX track will be useful on a few sections where the yellow markings are scarce. See §: Practical information
Above Molitg-les-Bains
A quick detour to view the village from above and admire the irrigation system along the canal. Much of the walk is in the shade.
Pic de Rossilló and Pla de l'Arca Dolmen
A beautiful hike facing the Canigou massif. It takes you up to Pic del Rosselló, from where you enter a spectacular mineral area. Cross a plateau dotted with rounded rock mounds that look as if they were placed there by giants. A magnificent landscape used for grazing, facing the long Pyrenees massif to the south.
Roc de la Collada via the Chapel of Saint-Étienne de Pomers
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.
Mas Malet loop to the Refuge des Cortalets
This two-day hike, with an overnight stay at the Refuge des Cortalets, allows for one or more variations each day, depending on the weather or your needs. The hike is fully signposted. The suggested variations remain on signposted paths or tracks with no risk of getting lost.
In addition, on thefirst day (upon arrival) or thesecond day (before descending),you can climb the Pic del Canigó (round trip from the refuge).
Access is described at the beginning of the description for the first stage.
Mas Malet - Cortalets via Roc Mosquit, Ras dels Cortalets
First stage of the Mas Malet loop to the Refuge des Cortalets. Ascent to Les Cortalets via little-used paths, marked with directional posts and in very good condition (as of July 2025). This is an alternative route through the forest, sheltered from the heat and, above all, with a steady climb and beautiful views.
The only drawback is the access at the start via a very rough track that has been resurfaced (as of July 2025) up to Coll del Forn. After that, driving slowly, you can reach the car park without any problems. Obviously, a car with low ground clearance is likely to scrape.
Around Lake Caramany
A beautiful approach to Lake Caramany with views along the route.
Pic Vergès and Saint-Arnac
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.
Col de Teixo and Coume iron mines from Baillestavy
A lovely walk through the woods, very pleasant in autumn with its many colours. At the pass, there is a view of Canigou.
Pic du Canigou
If there is one peak to climb in Catalonia, it is Canigou (the Catalan Olympus). Rising to 2,784.66 metres, it offers exceptional views from the summit, where there is an orientation table.
The Ribera de Fillols, Le Coll de Milleres, Fillols from Corneilla
A day hike from Corneilla-de-Conflent. The total elevation gain is approximately 785 m.Do not underestimate this hike. The slope is very steep from the start.From Coll de Juell (6) to the fork (7), the balcony path allows you to enjoy the landscape of the Canigó massif. The path to Ribera de Fillols and up to the track is very beautiful.The green path from Coll de Milleres to Fillols and then the descent to Corneilla are very pleasant.The GPX track may be necessary in some places.
