Circular around the village of Bagert

A family walk on wide, well-maintained and marked trails between forest and pastures with splendid views of the Pyrenees. The route can be done in both directions: the opposite direction to the one described is perhaps even more beautiful! The markings are easy to follow.

Description of the walk

Park opposite the town hall or near the cemetery as the other streets are narrow.

(S/E) Go back down to the D335 and continue east along the road to the three-way junction. Keep right on the road and, about 300 m before reaching the wash house, turn right onto the first path below. Continue along the bottom of the village until you reach a crossroads.

(1) Turn left towards the bottom of the valley.

(2) At the fork, take the right-hand branch and descend to the stream in the undergrowth. Climb up the other side and join a small ridge road where you will discover the first viewpoint over the Pyrenees. Join a road.

(3) Turn right and follow it to a place called Bergès.

(4) Take the path on the right through the undergrowth just before the first barn in the hamlet of Bergès. Cross the stream again and begin a steep climb (the only slightly steep section of the route) to reach a wider path. (For those who are interested: we saw a few nuthatches and garden tree creepers at the bottom of the slope).

(5) Turn left and reach the hamlet of Sère to come out onto a small road (D335).

(6) Turn right and follow this road straight ahead to the entrance to Bagert. The view of the Pyrenees is magnificent and the surrounding fields are ideal for a picnic facing the mountains.

(7) Take a shortcut on the left and join Rue de la Mairie. Turn left again, then right shortly after the cemetery to go straight up to the orientation table at the top of a field.
Head back down past the church and cemetery to reach the town hall car park (S/E).

A lovely, varied walk, short and easy, with beautiful views of the Pyrenees. As an added bonus, you can pick blackberries and figs along the way.

I agree with the previous comments: a very pleasant hike with superb views of the snow-capped Pyrenees. The short climbs and descents are easy to manage.

A very pleasant short hike with beautiful views of the Pyrenees along much of the route. Best done in clear weather to enjoy the views. Easy hike, even with children.

A pleasant, easy hike despite some steep climbs and descents, with a beautiful ridge walk offering views of the Ariège Pyrenees. The route is very well marked in yellow with signs at key points, so you won't get lost!

We didn't meet anyone, but I imagine the route is much busier on Sundays. A pleasant walk in the forest, but nothing exceptional, with beautiful views of the Ariège Pyrenees. The village is cute. The trail is well marked.

Hello, everyone
We went hiking in beautiful weather with magnificent views of the Pyrenees. There was a bit of mud at the bottom of the valleys, but that's to be expected with all the rain and snow we've had recently. Thank you for sharing.

A magnificent balcony overlooking the Pyrenees, accessible to all. The snow-covered panorama on a beautiful, sunny, clear morning was simply splendid.

A very pleasant route through a beautiful and somewhat wild hilly area of Ariège. Well worth exploring.

Beautiful panoramic view of the snow-capped Pyrenees. It's surprising to see them so close!
The path has some ups and downs (a bit too much for my
knee rehabilitation handicap), but we made it.
Lots of forests below, very humid.

Hello, there were three of us on this winter hike, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The views from the two ridges are sublime, stretching across the high mountain range from Valier to Pic du Midi...
It's true that for experienced walkers, the distance and elevation gain are fairly insignificant, but for us, at over 75 years old, it was perfect.
As the route is fairly quick to complete (we did it in the opposite direction to that suggested by Visorando), we extended the second ridge (at point 3 on your map) to have a picnic on a hill: ma-gni-fi-c!
If you park in front of the town hall, remember to park at an angle so as not to obstruct other users.
Highly recommended!

I was going to send you a note about this
The duration is also a little overestimated; I put 2 hours and 4 minutes...

Thank you for pointing that out. The altitudes have been recalculated.

I did this route in 2009. There isn't a cumulative elevation gain of 698 m as indicated: it would be good to recalculate the altitudes (see elevation gain diagram).
