Bolvir walks

Classic walking roundtrip through the sorroundings of Bolvir, a village in Baixa Cerdanya, Catalonia.

The village of Portè is a well-known holiday destination in the Alta Cerdanya. Many routes are available in its surroundings, hiking the mountains or connecting the nearby lakes. This is probably the most classical one, visiting the Font Viva lake, under the shadows of the Carlit peak (2921 m.). There, you may find many water sources and falls, pines and flowers, wild and domestic animals.

A wild route to the source of the Aude (or Auda) river, starting from the iconic Lac des Bouillouses. On the agenda: breathtaking views of the Carlit and even the Canigó, streams to cross, pine forests, wide open spaces and, of course, lakes.Please note that access to Les Bouillouses is restricted (check with the departmental council or the Pyrénées Catalanes tourist office).

A half-day tour to admire the magnificent Étangs de Fontargente and their emerald green reflections.

Roc Campanyà rises to an altitude of 1,134 metres, just above the Mas de Lastourg campsite in the Têt Valley, very close to Villefranche-de-Conflent. It offers breathtaking views of the Têt Valley, the Rotja Valley, the Fillols Valley and the Canigou, the giant Catalan mountain. With a sheer drop of 834 metres, it looks inaccessible... but it isn't!

Petite randonnée dans la montagne au-dessus de Serdinya, en partant de Villefranche-de-Conflent, jusqu'aux fontaines des Horts, village abandonné et en ruine. Cette randonnée emprunte l'ancien sentier de desserte du village "Chemin des Horts à Villefranche" porté au cadastre napoléonien, en très mauvais état cependant. On est dans un paysage bien typique des Pyrénées catalanes : montagne, et pourtant constructions et végétation méditerranéennes.

Cette petite randonnée d'un peu plus de 7km, emmène se balader sur les bords du canal de Jando (ou "Rec Nou"), canal d'irrigation abandonné, servant de sentier.Le circuit non balisé se situe sur le côté sud de la vallée de la Têt et permet une randonnée ensoleillée de 2h30 en marchant, 1h30 en courant sur les portions adaptées, à proximité du camping, permettant aux randonneurs, une alternative aux randonnées lointaines, obligeant à prendre son véhicule.

Comment gagner Villefranche-de-Conflent depuis Lastourg sans emprunter la dangereuse N116, qui n'a aucune circulation piétonne de prévue ?Petite découverte d'un circuit alternatif le long de la Têt !Attention, cette randonnée qui emprunte un itinéraire partiellement sur le terrain d'ERDF (non clôturé), se fait à vos risques et périls !

A short, pleasant half-day hike in spring to the Étang d'Appy and its cirque.

A gentle walk to the Artigue waterfalls.

The granite cirque of Bassiès, near the Montcalm massif, is impressive for its size and its lakes. It is accessed from the right bank of the steeply-sided Bassiès stream via a comfortable but steep path that passes through a beautiful forest before coming out onto a rocky outcrop that marks the first lake. The descent is on the other bank, which is just as steep, following a well-maintained stony mule track.

A circular walk in a magnificent landscape bathed in a calm and soothing atmosphere. This loop will delight lovers of peace and quiet as well as those wishing to reconnect with nature.
