Codalet walks

A pleasant hike in Conflent Roman, on trails partly through the woods, around the Taurinya valley, where the Abbey of Saint-Michel de Cuxa (10th and 12th centuries), one of the largest pre-Romanesque churches in Europe, is nestled. See also the impressive siphon of the Bohère Canal and, at the foot of Canigou, the former Salver de Taurinya mining site. Several viewpoints over the valley and the Canigou massif.

Hike on good trails that allow you to discover mountain chapels. Beautiful views of the Madres Massif. A visit to Conat is also interesting. The only difficulty is above Saint-Christophe Chapel: the trail is unmarked and sometimes difficult to see. It is necessary to know how to use a map and compass and/or how to follow a GPS track. However, it is possible to avoid this section and shorten the hike by connecting the points (3) to (9).

A hike featuring varied landscapes and trails where the use of a GPS is essential. The climb up the Riu Merder is quite tricky as the path is constantly damaged by flooding, and this walk should be cancelled if the river is high enough. You must reconnoitre the route before taking participants there!

Hike from pass to pass starting from the Abbey of Saint-Michel de Cuxa.Passing through the former Salver mining site then on to the Cours tower.The hike itself is not difficult, but a very good sense of direction, the ability to read the terrain, the route on the app or a GPS, and the route description are essential.Alternative routes are possible: see § Practical information.

Starting from Ria, this route, in the foothills of the Coronat massif, leads to the discovery of a major site, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. All that remains of the old abandoned village of Bell Lloc or Beau Site are a few house foundations and the12th-century Romanesque chapel of Sant-Andreu-de-Bell-Lloc, which is very well preserved and offers wonderful views of the Canigou massif and the surrounding valleys. The Conat Nature Reserve is a regulated area; picking, gathering and damaging the site are prohibited, and visitors must respect the site. A easy route.

This short walk takes you to see the Catllar Waterfall on the Castellane, near Prades. It is a return trip along the same path. Enjoyable at any time of day.

This hike takes place on paths that are rarely or never used. The route is enhanced by passing through various sites. This long hike ² should be avoided in hot weather despite the low vegetation cover.

Beautiful circular with views of Canigou and the valley. Don't miss the Saint-Jacques Chapel.

A circular hike from this Catalan village in the Conflent region – Canigó, as well as the Regional Nature Park.Numerous huts (orris), built entirely of stone, suggest that this mountain was extensively used for livestock farming and some cereal crops.The climb to the Coll de Tribes joins the GRP® Tour des Fenouillèdes and offers a 360° view.This hike requires a good sense of direction. Use of the GPX track is essential.

A walk beneath Canigou with views of the villages on the left bank of the Têt. You will pass a dolmen and the ruins of the church in the old village. No difficulty. Suitable in all seasons.

A little-visited but very pleasant area, in winter or early spring when the Canigou is covered in snow. The trail is mostly signposted and very well marked.

A beautiful and easy hike open to all in the Catalan Pyrenees Regional Nature Park, which will allow you to discover the villages of Clara and Taurinya. The starting point is in the car park opposite the Church of Saint-Martin in Clara.

This route allows you to discover military remains (Vauban's cistern and redoubt) as well as former ore quarries (marble, manganese and talc) and, above all, superb panoramic views of the Têt and Cady valleys. You can also see Villefranche-de-Conflent and Fort Libéria from above. This is a fairly easy hike, but don't underestimate the length.

If there is one peak to climb in Catalonia, it is Canigou (the Catalan Olympus). Rising to 2,784.66 metres, it offers exceptional views from the summit, where there is an orientation table.

A hike to discover built heritage, pastoral areas, springs and engraved stones. The village of Conat is a typical Catalan village clinging to the mountainside, where life must have been hard and self-sufficient. The main access road to the village is in itself a change of scenery and a prelude to the hike. This hike can be shortened if necessary or due to lack of time. See alternative route in practical information. Please note: it has been reported (07/10/2024) => from point (2) to point (5), the path is very overgrown with thorny bushes. It appears that this path is no longer maintained. There used to be an alternative route from (2) heading north (track on OSM).

This hike will take us from the village of Eus to the restored hermitage of Saint-Jacques de Calahons via a path that runs partly through the woods. We will follow part of the Chemin des Cabanes, the remains of pastoral activity. The Canigou mountain range accompanies us along the entire route.

This hike is classified as difficult due to its length, a steep climb and the need for a good sense of direction. However, the route follows beautiful paths and tracks that are almost always uncovered. It is a discovery of a landscape that is still occupied by humans, goats and sheep. A mountain water catchment supplies water to the magnificent Catalan village of Eus.

This hike takes place on a south-facing slope, allowing you to spend a day in the sun, with the Canigou massif in your sights.

A quick detour to view the village from above and admire the irrigation system along the canal. Much of the walk is in the shade.

A hike with multiple panoramic views, ideal from October to May: very sunny. The GPX track will be useful on a few sections where the yellow markings are scarce. See §: Practical information

A lovely walk that quickly takes you above the village and passes through pastureland, a stream, wooded sections, a few ruins and a pretty plateau.

A lovely hike combining two circular loops to make a round trip from Molitg-Les-Bains via the Hermitage of Sant Jaume de Calaons, with superb views of the sea, the plain, the Pic du Canigou and the Pic du Madrès.

A beautiful hike facing the Canigou massif. It takes you up to Pic del Rosselló, from where you enter a spectacular mineral area. Cross a plateau dotted with rounded rock mounds that look as if they were placed there by giants. A magnificent landscape used for grazing, facing the long Pyrenees massif to the south.

A short circular route along a ridge above the village of Fillols, a typical Catalan village. This hike will take you through beautiful landscapes and a rich variety of colourful and fragrant flora. As you round a bend, you might be lucky enough to spot a few chamois or see a bird of prey soaring overhead in search of its prey. Come and explore the village and its immediate surroundings, and before you leave, pop into one of the charming cafés for a welcome refreshment.

A beautiful hike in the forest with many different species of trees. A ridge trail from one pass to another. Fairly varied terrain offering beautiful views of Canigou, Tres Estelles and Madrès. A visit to the beautifully restored orri (stone hut) at Coll de Tuja and Clot de Baladres.

What could be more surprising than visiting a chapel built by human hands, completely isolated on a seemingly impassable rock face, with a huge cave overlooking it, also equipped with an altar forming another chapel, this one natural and even larger than the previous one!On the way up, there is a smaller cave. Both caves are completely safe. With a torch, you can explore them more fully...From up there, you'll get a breathtaking view of the Têt Valley, the surrounding valleys and the Canigou.

This is a good, challenging hike, mostly off the beaten track, along ancient paths in the Sant-Pere massif. At the foot of Roc Campanya/Campagna, you will discover an incredible view of the Têt and Rotja valleys. There is a 180° view with the 2,784-metre-high Canigou in the south.

Roc Campanyà or Campagnia 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. Its pointed, aggressive silhouette and the chaos of the Sant-Pere massif on which it is perched suggest that it is inaccessible without climbing equipment... But it's not. With a good pace and a good sense of direction, hikers can reach the summit in just 3 hours.Read the comments carefully before setting off on this route. Don't hesitate to turn back. There is a way out of the route between (10) and (5): return via the Vallon des Horts, a hike described here on visorando. The point (10) on this route corresponds to the point (4) on the other route.

A day hike from Corneilla-de-Conflent. The total elevation gain is approximately 785 m.Do not underestimate this hike. The slope is very steep from the start.From Coll de Juell (6) to the fork (7), the balcony path allows you to enjoy the landscape of the Canigó massif. The path to Ribera de Fillols and up to the track is very beautiful.The green path from Coll de Milleres to Fillols and then the descent to Corneilla are very pleasant.The GPX track may be necessary in some places.

A pleasant circular that allows you to take a break at the Fillols bistro. A few shaded sections make it enjoyable in all seasons. No difficulty. Only a small broken bridge over the stream at the start may deter the less agile.

This two-day hike, with an overnight stay at the Refuge des Cortalets, allows for one or more alternative routes each day, depending on the weather or your needs. The route is fully signposted. The suggested alternatives stay on the signposted paths or tracks, so there is no risk of getting lost. In addition, on thefirst day (upon arrival) or thesecond day (before descending): the ascent of Pic del Canigó (a round trip from the refuge). Access details are provided at the start of the description for the first stage. ⚠️ Works at the Cortalets refuge in 2026, 2027 and 2028. Renovation of the Cortalets refuge; the Cortalets refuge is closed for works.

First stage of the circular route from Mas Malet to the Refuge des Cortalets. Ascent to Les Cortalets via little-used paths, marked with directional posts that are present and in very good condition (as of July 2025). This is an alternative route through the forest, sheltered from the intense heat, and above all featuring a steady climb with beautiful views. The only drawback is the access to the start via a recently resurfaced track suitable for vehicles (as of July 2025) up to Coll del Forn. After that, driving carefully, you’ll reach the car park without any trouble. It’s clear that a very low-slung car risks scraping the ground. ⚠️ Works at the Cortalets refuge in 2026, 2027 and 2028. Renovation of the Cortalets refuge; Cortalets refuge closed for works

A pleasant outing along the Sahorre Canal and a historical walk among the remains of the iron route. Caution for those prone to vertigo: although the path along the canal is generally good, from (5) there are places where you have to walk straddling the canal, on narrow footbridges and areas where the edge of the canal is very narrow. Alternative route possible.
