From Las Conques, a lovely walk through pastures that are still well maintained. Ridge walk (2,403 m). The route passes beneath the Esquerdes de Rotjà. Springs, shelters, shepherds’ huts and scenic viewpoints are all on the itinerary.

The ascent of the Pic des Sept Homes and the Puig Roja is a very beautiful hike behind the famous Canigou, from which you’ll have a breathtaking view, as well as of the entire surrounding area. The route is a round trip, with just a circular loop around the Puig de la Collada Verda, passing to the west via the Collada de Roques Blanques (Little White Rocks Pass) on the way out and via the south-east of the Puig de la Collada Verda (Little Green Pass) on the way back, offering more varied landscapes and vegetation. There are two fairly steep sections; it’s best to be in good physical shape (stamina and strong knees!) for the ascent and descent. Otherwise, the rest of the route is very accessible. Please note that, apart from a short section at the start and on the return leg, the bulk of the walk is well above 2,000 metres, so it’s exposed! Please note the access to the Coll de les Basses: practical information.

A beautiful hike between Spain and France from Plat d'Hospitalet to the Mariailles Refuge at the foot of Canigou. The route is varied with splendid views when crossing the mountain passes.

Second stage of the: Loop from the Refuge des Conques to the Refuge de Mariailles Mountain hike with a permanent view of Pla Guillem at Porteilla des Avets Classified as difficult: open terrain, paths sometimes with old or no markings, steep slopes in places. See practical information. Allow 6 hours of sustained walking.

This two-day hike, with an overnight stay at the Refuge de Mariailles, allows for shorter variations each day depending on the weather or individual needs. This hike is not fully signposted. However, the suggested variations allow you to stay on the marked trails. Two days in the mountains, from one refuge to another. It is possible to start from the Mariailles Refuge, but add 2 hours from the Coll de Jou to climb up to it.

Most of the walk is out in the open, with some very beautiful scenery. First, a steep climb to Puig de Collada Verda (marker 2403) and a geodesic marker. This is followed by a route along the ridge and a passage to Collada del Vents. Then watch out for the rocky Cingle dels Pelegrins, where there is no fence or protection. Keep away from them by following the path marked on the ground. A large cairn marks the end of the ridge. A return trip to Pla Guillem (signpost) allows you to enjoy the scenery. Classified as difficult due to the length and number of ascents and descents throughout the hike and a dangerous zone (15) at (17).
