Description of the walk

Start at the Saint-Pierre Chapel, above Fillols, on the RD27.

(S) Take the Cami del Mener below the RD27. Initially tarmac, this track then becomes a footpath. Continue straight on until you reach the D27 at Roc del Ram.

(1) Carry on to the left, along the D27, towards Taurinya, until you reach the Mas de la Colomine.

(2) Before reaching the entrance to this farmhouse (elevation 691), take a track on the left. Turn right 150 m further on. Continue to the Tour de Corts.

(3) Go round the tower on the left and continue along the path. Turn right 700 m further on. Join the GR®T83.

(4) Follow it to the left, in the direction signposted for Saint-Michel de Cuxa. Walk alongside the backwater of a canal until you reach a footbridge.

(5) Leave it on your left. Head down to the right until you reach another footbridge over the Lliterà; cross this before heading back up to the D27, at the car park for the Abbey of Saint-Michel de Cuxa.

(6) Go round the abbey via the road on the right, then leave the road at the bend, heading straight ahead to follow a marked path alongside a field. At the end of the field, turn left and head back up to the Canal de Bohere.
(If you walk 150 metres upstream to the right and back, you can see the bubbling outlet of the canal from a siphon running beneath the abbey.)

(7) Follow the canal downstream until you reach a bend to the right.

(8) Leave the Canal de Bohere and head left. Cross the upper part of Codalet following the GR®T83, initially along a long, straight road, then along a path with steps. At the bottom of these steps, take Allée Bellevue on the right, then the street on the left (Cami de las Fourques), until you reach the rugby stadium.

(9) On Avenue du Docteur Arrous, in front of the stadium entrance, turn left towards the Prades fire station. Pass under the railway line. Cross Avenue du Général de Gaulle. Turn right and continue along Rue du Palais de Justice until you reach Place de la République and Saint-Pierre Church (E).

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.

⚑Departure from Vernet-les-Bains (Pyrénées-Orientales)
The legendary mountain of Roussillon has always held a great appeal for hikers. The Canigou fascinates some and frightens others. From the Refuge des Cortalets, the ascent is fairly easy. But starting from Vernet-les-Bains, at a lower altitude, this route is aimed at experienced hikers who are not put off by the elevation gain. The magnificent panorama from the summit and the subtle landscapes along the entire route reinforce, step by step, the pleasure of walking in these surroundings.

⚑Departure from Vernet-les-Bains (Pyrénées-Orientales)
The only place in the region where there was no wind! We were able to walk all day without a breath of wind, whilst everywhere else, gusts of over 100 km/h were sweeping across the mountains. Incredible! On the other hand, there are quite a few trees blocking the paths, which sometimes makes progress difficult or tedious. Nevertheless, a lovely hike despite the final section being entirely on track.

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.
