A lovely, short and very scenic route through the Carança Gorges. This walk offers multiple options up to the suspension footbridge, meaning you can do a circular route (and return to the starting point or switch to the other bank) at several points.Moderator’s note: some people have got lost on this hike; see reviews

Difficult
Departure from Olette (Pyrénées-Orientales)
This section of the Chemin Vauban links Olette to Sauto via a route that is much better signposted than the previous one. The route remains, however, long and challenging, with some steep ascents and descents, but in return offers sumptuous and varied scenery. In particular, it takes you through the villages of Canaveilles and Llar, before gaining altitude towards the Serre de Clavera, then beginning the final descent towards Sauto.⚠️ Warning: the route runs alongside and crosses a military firing range between (10) and (11). Before setting out on this route, it is essential to check the days and times of firing exercises to ensure that passage is permitted.

Difficult
Departure from Sauto (Pyrénées-Orientales)
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.

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.
