Description of the walk

Departure from Roquefeuil Town Hall.

(S/E) From the town hall, follow the Grand Rue heading north and, a few dozen metres further on, turn left onto Carrie des Clots.
Follow the yellow markings and, further on, turn left at the intersection before reaching another intersection.

(1) Take the track on the left and you will come out in a forest.
You will climb three hairpin bends before reaching a plateau where you will need to follow the marked path on the right that leads to the Pic des Sarrasis.

(2) Enjoy the beautiful panorama before reaching the Col des Sarrasis, which marks the descent to the road.

(3) Follow it to the left for a few metres before taking the track on the right, which will lead you to another track.
Turn left and follow it until you reach a crossroads.

(4) Follow the marked trail to the left.
You will reach the summit of Dressadou de la Cargue, where there is a boundary marker, before reaching the Pic du Midi and its orientation table.
Breathtaking 360° panorama (Tabe Massif, Tarbesou, Pic Ourtiset, among others...)

(5) Descend gently towards the east. You will reach a track. Follow it to the right and, at the intersection, leave it to continue on the path to the left to reach the summit of Sarrat de Maljournal.
Return to the track to reach the Col d'Ubi.

(6) Turn left onto the track until you reach a junction, where you should turn right and then quickly left.
A few metres further on, at another intersection, turn left to return to Roquefeuil.
You will pass an antenna, then the campsite and the Church of Saint-Étienne (listed as a historic monument) before reaching the town hall (S/E).

A very pleasant walk with magnificent views, well signposted, and this weekend was splendid with its autumn colours. The Sault plateau is a magnificent place for walking.

I am delighted to have chosen this route; I fell in love with the Pays de Sault, especially as the weather was superb, the temperature was very pleasant and the colours were truly magnificent.
The route is a bit challenging but not too much, just enough to enjoy the effort. With walking poles, it's very manageable.
Thank you very much for posting this hike.
If you don't know it, go for it!!!!!

Very pleasant walk. Lovely views. As we're fairly good walkers, it took us 4 hours (including lunch). Nice to see paragliders taking off from the orientation table.

An easy route, ideal for getting back into shape. Its special feature is that you can see the entire route very clearly, as if you were looking at a map. At the first pass, you can see the meadow where the orientation table is located, and it's easy to understand how to get there. On the subject of the orientation table, it's a shame that the local tourist office hasn't replaced it, because it's quite damaged. But once you get there, you have a beautiful view. So, this is a recommended route, easy and less than 4 hours long.

We did a very beautiful hike clockwise, which was fortunate because the climb to the Pic des Sarrasis is certainly difficult going up, but preferable to going down. A very beautiful hike with magnificent views. The route alternates between undergrowth and more challenging terrain. We completed it in 3 hours and 50 minutes. I recommend it.

A very pleasant route with superb views, alternating between undergrowth, scrubland and sunshine. In June, it is a treat for amateur botanists given the wealth of varieties to be found.

Thank you for this guide, which offered us a very pleasant and truly magnificent hike with changing landscapes and vegetation. We thoroughly enjoyed it! I think it's worth pointing out that the boundary stone at the top of Dressadou de la Cargue is undoubtedly a royal boundary stone, given that it features the fleur-de-lis. The day before, we also climbed Pic de Sarrasis, located right next to it. Beautiful, but less captivating.

Hike completed on Easter Monday and cut short due to the curfew: we therefore did not complete the section towards the Pic des Sarrazis. An easy and very pleasant walk with beautiful views of the Pyrenees and then the Sault plateau. Perfect for a picnic!

A very pleasant hike with superb views.
The route is very well marked: we didn't get lost once during the entire hike.
Not very busy, so very peaceful. Took 4 hours including a picnic break and stops to admire the view, or 3 hours of walking. I would definitely recommend it.
Thank you to Visorando for this moment of escape.

Great hike. Difficult descent from Pic des Sarrasis; walking poles recommended.
According to my GPS, there is only a 310m elevation gain and 12.1km
4 hours 15 minutes in total, including a good break for lunch for a group aged between 60 and 70.
