Séquières plateau from the Col des Auzines
A surprising and pleasant hike on the Séquières Plateau, a former mixed farming area. See the highest point of the plateau, the medieval village of Séquières (its name could be translated as "the high rock") with its restored and inhabited sheepfolds, its castle (12th century), or rather a fortified house, with two strange pillars over 12 metres high nicknamed "les demoiselles" (the young ladies). Visit the ruins of the Romanesque church of Saint-Vincent (12th century). An easy hike.
Pic Arnau and Les Séquières from Tarerach
After a fairly steep climb from the village of Tarerach, a hike through the hills to discover a few rocks, peaks and the ruins of a church, a sheepfold and a fortified house. Vast landscapes throughout this circular route.

From Prades to Fillols
A shaded and varied walk offering the most direct route from Prades to Fillols. Once you’ve left the town, you’ll follow paths that are mostly signposted, with the exception of a short stretch of road before the Roc del Ram.
Mas Malet - Cortalets via Roc Mosquit, Ras dels Cortalets
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
