Almost the entire hike is in the shade, under a forest of cork oak trees.
The slope is quite steep in the first part. The effort is rewarded by a beautiful 360° view from the tower.

- From the Argelès-sur-Mer SNCF train station, climb up to the Tour de la Massane via marked trails and paths.
- The hike can start from Valmy Castle near (3). See practical information.
I recommend reading the practical information section regarding the different routes.
The hike could be classified as difficult due to some very rough sections of the trail and the need for good navigation skills.

A wild, rocky coastline, small forgotten coves, terraced vineyards that seem to hang above the waves: this is what you can expect on this hike, dotted with maritime pines and prickly pears. Along the way, the beautifully restored, history-steeped site of Paulilles and various beaches inviting you to take a dip add to the pleasure of this walk in the soft light of the Côte Vermeille.

First stage of this trek to Amélie-les-Bains. A big day awaits you, but you'll be rewarded with spectacular views. Thefirst morning is physically demanding, especially if it's hot in summer. You'll climb 1,000 metres in one go. The rest of the day is more relaxed, as you'll be on the ridge.
