A short, easy Sunday hike (500 m elevation gain) leading to Pic de Razels (1,600 m) with a magnificent 360° view. After a winding climb, you reach the ridge, which you follow to the left through a pretty wood to the peak. Lovely views all along the way.

A beautiful hike with lovely views of the town of Foix and its castle, as well as the Pyrenees mountain range.
A very quiet hike, with unspoilt nature, shaded sections in the forest and sections exposed to the sun.

This is a beautiful hike accessible from the Col de Port, offering magnificent views of the Pyrenees mountain range, from Saint-Barthélémy in the east to Mont Valier and beyond in the west. After a fairly short climb to Pic d'Estibat, the hardest part is over, as the rest of the route continues in a circular fashion along a beautiful ridge before descending through woods and returning on the north side via a pretty valley past the Estibat hut.
Please take note of the comments in the practical information section.

A lovely walk starting from the Col de Port, with stunning views of the Pyrenees range: Mont Fourcat, Saint-Barthélémy, Montcalm, Pic d’Estats, Trois Seigneurs, Mont Vallier and, on a clear day, sometimes the Pic du Midi de Bigorre. The walk can be halved by turning back at the Pic de Razels.

The Pic de la Journalade, visible from afar due to its jagged contours, is reserved for fit and experienced walkers. The first section is very accessible. The second section, between points (3) and (4), involves a lot of scrambling to cross three very steep rocky outcrops, requiring you to use your hands and stow away your walking sticks. The final ascent to the Journalade is very steep but not dangerous. The descent is tricky as there is no path and there are many hazards: a slippery slope and rocky outcrops to negotiate before reaching a proper path.
