Four solaire de Mont-Louis walks

A climb on the Train Jaune from Fontpédrouse to La Cabanasse, followed by a beautiful, tree-lined descent along the River Têt.A lovely walk, partly through the forest; this is a different route from La Cabanasse to Planès suggested by PO Express, with the chance to find a few porcini mushrooms depending on the season, and to pass under the Gisclard Bridge, a true engineering marvel for its time.

First stage of the Capcir route. Village in the valley and at higher altitudes, high plateaus, a major centre for solar energy, finishing in a peaceful setting.

This section of the Chemin Vauban links Sauto and Formiguères, passing through La Llagonne, the Col de la Quillane, Lake Matemale and the village of Matemale. The route, which is generally easy and accessible to all, alternates between balcony paths, woodland trails and sections along the shores of Lake Matemale, offering beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and providing an opportunity to explore the Tour de Creu.Please note that the route passes through the La Quillane ski resort, which means it is impassable whilst the resort is open for the winter season. The final section between Lake Matemale and Formiguères, which mainly follows a forest track, offers little shade and should therefore be avoided in very hot weather.

The final stage of the Capcir route. This stage follows the Train Jaune route.

Second stage of the Capcir route. A long day, with no real difficulties. Views of the Matemale and Puyvalador lakes. Crossing the Puyvalador dam. Arrival at Espousouille, in the Galba Valley.

A 5-day route in the Catalan Pyrenees, offering the chance to explore the stunning Carença Gorges before finishing with an ascent of the Catalan giant: the Canigou.

This is the first stage of the Thués - Fillols loop, which takes you up the Carença Gorge to the refuge of the same name.

An easy, two-thirds shaded route suggested by a Year 3 class. Superb views to help children from the countryside discover the mountains: lake, forests.

Deuxième étape du circuit catalan pour rejoindre le village de Mantet.

A superb hike that takes you from the French Cerdagne to the splendid Sanctuary of Nuria in Spain, via the Col de Ségalère and the Col des Finestrelles. Once you arrive in Nuria, you can spend the night at the Xanascat hostel if you’ve booked in advance and enjoy the area, which is the starting point for numerous walks; or you can return to France by train: Ribes de Freser, then on to Puigcerdà and finally the Yellow Train to Err, or the LiO buses.
