Cerdagne and Font Romeu

Description of the walk

Park in the large car park on Rue de la Sapinière, after the picnic area at the Eyne 2600 resort.

(S/E) Continue along Rue de la Sapinière. You will soon reach a crossroads near an antenna. Turn right onto the path going uphill to reach the edge of a ski lift.

(1) Cross it and continue straight ahead on the path. Cut across several ski lifts to reach the Coulée ski lift.

(2) Continue straight ahead on the right path in the Bosc d'Ena forest, climbing steadily on a fairly gentle slope. Follow the fairly wide dirt track until you reach a hairpin bend.

(3) Keep left on the main path, shortly after which you will come to another hairpin bend. Continue straight ahead to reach the arrival point of the Coulée ski lift.

(4) Stay on the path, turning left. You will reach the start of the Bois ski lift. Stay on the path and descend the blue run. You will reach the ski lifts. Turn left to return to the initial crossroads you passed on the way up.

(1) Continue straight ahead along the ski lift to return to the car park on Rue de la Sapinière (S/E).

A lovely, very accessible route with a slight incline and a reasonable duration. The start and finish, surrounded by friendly and curious horses, are very pleasant.

An excellent walk that is limited in time, not too challenging in terms of elevation and offering spectacular views of the Cerdagne valley. Ideal for an afternoon stroll to aid digestion.

A nice little circular to do if you don't have much time or are not very fit. The path is easy to follow and very smooth. You don't need special footwear to enjoy the experience and the beautiful views...

This hike in the woods of Eyne was very pleasant. It follows a large part of a snowshoe trail and crosses the slopes of the Eyne and Saint Pierre ski resorts. Beautiful landscapes and pretty forest paths follow one after another.

An easy walk that isn't too long. Beautiful views of Font Romeu, the solar furnace, and the yellow train passing in the distance... Large car park. We saw a deer and a squirrel, which shows how quiet it was. The ski lifts make it easy to find your way around. Suitable for families as the climb is gentle but steady.

A pleasant, easy walk. The trail alternates between shaded and open sections, with a few viewpoints over the Eyne Valley.
Accessible on snowshoes in winter.

Apart from an interest in a play on words, we found no trace of the feline along this pretty route, which quickly rises above the village of Llo and allows you to visit Sant Féliu in its chapel. The view over Cerdanya is breathtaking and remains so all the way to the Pla plateau. A forest track on a balcony ensures the return to Port de Llo, from where it is easy to reach the narrow streets of the old village.
