Cazavet walks
The Bourdaous trail from Cazavet
Discover the bourdaous, which are pastoral mountain hamlets, groups of barns and stables used in the past during the summer months. A bourdaou can also be an isolated barn with an adjoining hut, a very basic dwelling for shepherds. This route offers the chance to discover some of them, starting from Cazavet and climbing up to the Cours mountain pasture. The route passes by the summit of Roc de Maléchart, where a 360° view allows you to discover the Pyrenees mountain range.
The barns of Balagué
Sunshine, panoramic views of the Vallier massif and the Pyrenees, and barns are all on the agenda for this loop above the village of Balagué.
Saleich loop via Urau and Castelbiague
This easy hike is located on the border of Haute-Garonne and at the gateway to Ariège. You will walk along the foothills of the Pyrenees. Varied landscapes and architectural sites are waiting to be discovered on this interesting walk.

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.

Splendid view of the Couserans peaks with a crossing of a summer pasture and the discovery of an old marble quarry.
The Tuc de Tucol from Arbas
An easy hike once you've made the climb, with magnificent views of the Pyrenees.
Crête de Cournudère or Cornudère or Cap des Teches
Arbas, land of bears, paragliders and beautiful hikes! The hike I suggest follows a ridge trail and offers beautiful views of the Comminges to the north and the high peaks of the Pyrenees to the south, all without much difficulty.
Belbèze-en-Comminges
From the village, the view of the Pyrenees is magnificent. Belbèze lives up to its name (in Occitan, Belbèze means "beautiful view"). Throughout the hike, the route offers unobstructed views, mainly of the Pyrenean peaks.
Bout de la Forêt trail in Contrazy
This hike takes place mainly on agricultural and forest tracks with beautiful views of the Pyrenean foothills. Contrazy is a hamlet that you will only discover when you see the sign, as it is nestled in its green surroundings. Beautiful renovated farms, a remarkable church, a street decorated with flowers. On the way back, don't miss the unusual Notre-Dame de la Goutte chapel in Montardit.
Tour du Mail des Morères
The route is mainly in the shade. Only the summit is in full sun from the village of Antras. The climb up the Col de Mourères is not difficult. A beautiful walk on the Balcon du Biros
Cabane de Campuls from the Etang de Bethmale
A short hike accessible to all, best done with snowshoes. In addition to its short distance, low altitude and easy level of difficulty, you will be treated to magnificent landscapes all the way to the final cirque of the Cabane de Campuls.
The site is very popular in summer, but much less so in winter.
Pic de l'Arraing route
A circular loop to climb Pic de l'Arraing via Pic de Sérau, following the pretty ridges.

Bethmale and Ayes: two ponds, two atmospheres
A circular route that allows you to discover a low-altitude pond nestled in the middle of the forest, then a mountain pond in the heart of the mountain pastures, passing by the Campuls hut, and to meet the herds in summer.

The Argain tour in Montesquieu-Volvestre
The Volvestre inter-communal tourist office offers a marked and secure route.
You will appreciate the calm and serenity of the hamlet of Argain, which will welcome you before or after your walk. This is a pleasant short hike with an uphill section that allows you to admire the hillsides of Volvestre against the backdrop of the Pyrenean peaks.
If you prefer circulars, you can return via the small road through the woods rather than going back through the forest. To do this, at the point (6), turn right and follow the road to the chapel.
