Description of the walk

Park in the car park opposite the Church of Saint-Fructueux, a listed historic monument.

(S/E) From the car park, head south along the Carretera del Segre towards Les Bains. A little further on, you’ll come across theGR®®36markings for a short while before leaving the path at the junction with the Cami de Vedrignans.

(1) Turn straight ahead, following the yellow markings, and stay on this forest track which runs alongside the Segre, until you reach the junction at the Pont des Oubliés.

(2) Turn 180° to the left to take the path that climbs towards Mas Patiràs. At the junction with this path, turn left to follow the signposted trail. You will reach a junction at the foot of the Sant Feliu Chapel.

(3) Continue to the left to reach the chapel and enjoy the exceptional views.

(4) Retrace your steps back to the previous junction.

(3) Turn left, beginning a fairly steep descent towards Llo. Cross the Rec del Pastoret and follow Carrer del Castell straight on to rejoin the red and white markings ofthe GR®®36, shared with theGRP®® Tour de Cerdagne.

(5) Follow it to the left as far as the Church of Saint-Fructueux.

(6) Leave the markings behind and continue along the D33 road to reach the car park on the left (S/E).

The whole section from Llo onwards is very pleasant as it winds through the gorges.
Then, the climb up to the chapel and its 180° view over Cerdagne.

A pleasant and easy walk. It is strongly recommended that you follow the route in the direction indicated. If you walk in the opposite direction, the climb from Llo is long and steep. Starting from the Sègre valley means you can enjoy a shaded first half of the walk.

A short, easy and pleasant walk; very easy to get to, with plenty of parking.

It’s not difficult, but do make sure to take some water with you all the same.

A lovely, quiet walk, ideal for dogs. The first section up to the chapel is fairly easy going, whilst the descent is steeper. We think it’s essential to wear walking boots. Stunning views all the way.

I loved this little hike. First you follow the stream, then you pass through meadows with cows and bulls. Beautiful views, beautiful rocks. The spectacle provided by two mountaineers on the beautiful orange-beige peak. The magnificent view from the ruins of the church, where you can clearly see the fault line
The descent over the rocks can be avoided, as mentioned below, by taking a path on the side. Be sure to return to the rocky path and do not continue into the forest as we did, as it is quite challenging to find the path again further down...

A very beautiful, pleasant, shaded, easy hike with magnificent views. Yes, the path downhill is rocky, but you can take the trail on the side. We didn't find the Pont des Oubliés (Bridge of the Forgotten) and followed the forest trail for at least 2 km, which runs alongside the river. It was the right way. We will definitely do this hike again.

Hike completed in early August. Pleasant with beautiful views. Bring a hat as there is little shade.
