⚑Departure from Les Angles (Pyrénées-Orientales) (Pyrénées-Orientales)
Le Carlit is the highest peak in the Pyrénées-Orientales at 2,921 m. It’s a site visited by hundreds of people every summer, but generally most are content to do the Bouillouses–Carlit round trip. This first stage invites you to include this summit and to finish the stage in the area around the Cabane du Rouzet after walking alongside the large Étang de Lanoux. Classified as difficult due to the ascent of Puig Carlit and its steep descent on the Étang de Lanoux side.
