Espira-de-l'Agly walks

A climb to Roc Rodon which, despite its modest altitude, offers exceptional views of the Pyrenees and the Corbières. After passing the Hermitage of Notre-Dame de Pène, a long ridge walk leads to the village of Calce. The route continues through the vineyards, leading to the Chapel of Sainte-Catherine before climbing back up to the ridge and returning to the starting point via a balcony path overlooking the Agly valley. A very varied and exotic route on the outskirts of Perpignan.

A short climb on a rocky trail leads to an old hermitage in a superb setting with a beautiful view from the top.

This is an alternative way to the Tour de Tautavel from Cases-de-Pène. Advantage: sheltered from the tramontana wind. Disadvantage: sunny in summer.

A short hike offering a number of advantages. It features varied terrain, with two-thirds of the route covered by woodland, combining a Provençal atmosphere, the chic neighbourhood of Montpins with its beautiful mansions, and a forest setting. Breathtaking views of almost the entire department in a single glance along wide paths that allow you to chat side-by-side with others whilst hiking. The route is neither difficult nor technical, but there are a few steep sections.

This circular walk, located in the commune of Pézilla-la-Rivière - Calce, circles the Serrat de la Pedrera. Starting from the recycling centre, it follows vineyard paths, then a track through the heath. This is followed by a descent towards the Mas de les Fonts, then the return via vineyard paths.

A very pleasant circular walk, with a 360° view from the top of the Tour del Far, and a lovely stroll along the ridge of the Serra that separates Tautavel from Cases de Pène. On the way back, you pass a solar farm and through the gorges of a former marble quarry, now disused.

A round trip to the Catalan Corbières region will take you to the Tour del Far, where you can enjoy a magnificent 360° panorama. Thishike is strongly discouraged in high winds.

A getaway to the Catalan Corbières region, where you can discover Tautavel and its interesting heritage.

A superb landscape with views of the Corbières and Roussillon. Best done when there is no wind. This is a circular route of 4 hours and the route is easy. There are a few steep sections. It is limestone rock from start to finish, so good footwear is recommended. From here, you can see Aguilar Castle, Opoul Castle, Canigou, the sea, the Corbières and Roussillon!

This is a fairly challenging route to reach the peaks of the iconic Vingrau mountain, a climber's paradise and world-famous site. After an easy approach walk to Trauc del Cavall, the rest of the hike involves a radical change of terrain that requires caution and endurance. However, the magnificent views to the east and west are well worth the effort.

From the village of Vingrau, pass through the cliffs via the Trou (passage) du Cheval. From this point, it is essential to follow the very good recent markings and the numerous cairns, staying below the ridge without descending. The path below the Serra ridge is difficult: you will sometimes need to use your hands. It consists of constant ascents and descents. However, there is no danger (no drop). This section is not recommended in strong winds. There is an alternative route that avoids this ridge: see practical information.There are many viewpoints and panoramic views, including Canigó, various mountain ranges and the Mediterranean Sea.

A lovely circular route starting from Vingrau, ideal for beginners to mountain biking. Best avoided in hot weather as there is little shade and no water points along the route. There are two fairly technical sections on this route.

A walk with two main attractions: firstly, the history of the fort, and secondly, the chance to discover the surrounding landscapes (mountains, the foothills of the Corbières, lakes and the Mediterranean Sea).

This hike in the Corbières offers a variety of pleasures. Nature lovers will appreciate the typical landscape of the region, divided between heath, vineyards and pine trees, not to mention the karstic cave of the Caune, which offers a cool and pleasant break during the summer heat. For those who prefer history and old stones, the Santa Barbarà Chapel, the abandoned village of Périllos and the ruins of Opoul Castle are excellent places to stop.

A fairly short circular route allowing you to climb from Opoul to Salveterra Castle, which dominates the landscape, then descend via the Col de la Sabine. This can be done as a stopover on a journey to Spain, as it is not far from the A6 motorway junction – La Catalane (Rivesaltes).

You will cross dirt tracks and a few tarmaced sections, through vineyards, heath and olive groves... which will take you to Castell de Força Réal, at an altitude of 507 m... No particular difficulty apart from the climb up the north face to the observation post. Once at the top, enjoy a picnic and discover the breathtaking view of the Canigou massif and the Têt valley... You can even see the sea on a clear day. Return via some very pleasant paths...

This circular starting from Paziols will take you through heath and vineyards. The route starts at the village cemetery and then heads south. At the end of the trail, the climb up to the plateau will take you past sheepfolds and vineyards. The descent to the village is via footpaths and then roads.

A very pleasant circular route connecting two villages in the Aude department. From Paziols, a ridge trail leads to the Col de la Heath. Then, crossing the Pas de la Serre allows you to switch to the other side of the mountain and reach Padern. Then the Chemin Cathare (GR®367), almost like a balcony, allows you to enjoy this wine-growing landscape. All that remains is to continue along a track through beautiful countryside to reach Paziols. Elevation gain closer to 500 m.

A varied hike starting from Paziols: heath, small wild and forgotten valleys, wide balcony trails offering magnificent panoramic views of the Corbières and the Pyrenees. A short section of challenging but safe terrain adds spice to this hike, which can be rounded off with a tasting of the renowned local wines.
