Description of the walk

In Enveitg, head towards Bena and park at the intersection that marks the end of Rue de la Gourdiole.

(S/E) Start by taking Impasse du Taouge on the right, following the red and yellow markings ofthe GRP® Tour de Cerdagne.
You will cross a road, continuing straight ahead before crossing the road again a few metres further on.

(1) Continue straight ahead for a short distance before turning left towards the holiday centre.
Just before the holiday centre, take the path on the left. Follow theGRP® trail, ignoring any side paths. You will come to a track at Coll de Bena.

(2) Turn right towards Bena, then right again.
Cross the hamlet and, a few metres further on, ignore theGRP® Tour du Carlit variant that branches off to the left, before crossing the River Bena and arriving at a car park on the right.

(3) Continue right on theGRP® then turn left towards Mas Franc. At the next crossroads, turn left, 180°.

(4) Further on, when you leave the road and turn right, heading due east, be extremely careful and attentive, as this section is very poorly maintained and the signposting leaves something to be desired, so keep your wits about you.
Head towards Feners.

(5) Turn left at the road (still on theGRP®) towards Brangoli.

(6) At the intersection, take a look to your right at the Dolmen de la Cova del Camp de la Matunya, reputed to be the highest in the department.
On your return, continue right towards Brangoli until you reach the Chapel of Saint Fructuosus.

(7) After enjoying the site, return to Feners.

(5) Leave theGRP® you took on the way there and continue straight ahead, heading south on the road to Enveitg. Return to the starting point.

(1) Follow the route in reverse to complete this Enveitg circular (S/E).

We started the walk from Latour-de-Carol, which avoids the section on the road to Enveitg.
A very pleasant hike with beautiful views of snow-capped mountains.

A very beautiful hike, especially the climb to the hamlet of Bena, which offers magnificent views and surroundings. This part is exposed, so it is not recommended in hot weather.
A lovely discovery of hamlets, chapels, old cemeteries and lots of flowers in early October.
The return to Entveitg along the road was a bit long. I didn't dare try the small paths from Feners as mentioned in the comments because I was afraid of missing my train home (this hike is easily accessible from the station)

I got slightly lost at point 4: when turning left at the crossroads towards Mas Franc, the small dirt track on the right-hand side of the road appears quickly and is not very visible as it slopes downwards.

A pleasant route, discovering pretty villages and beautiful sites. Pretty well signposted, but you need to pay attention to avoid missing an intersection. The road section is quite long, but the scenery makes you forget most of it!

The hike went well (good weather, beautiful scenery, easy) until point 4, which was closed (electric wires) due to the use of summer pastures. We took an uninteresting path that ran alongside the road for the return trip. We were unable to go to Fener or Brangoli.

A very beautiful route: the landscapes and villages are worth the detour. A New Year's Day picnic (no snow this year) in this sumptuous setting is a real treat! Indeed, in Feners, you can take the paths that leave the village and avoid the road on the way back to Enveigt. We did this walk again in May 2023, and it is still just as beautiful.

A very beautiful hike! Beautiful views and picturesque hamlets! The asphalt is easy to walk on from Feners (or Fanès) because the view is splendid!
Note: the route was marked in blue almost all the way, and for the section between (4) and (5), I recommend using the electricity pylons as a guide.
Thank you!

A very pleasant hike in good weather. The route is well marked, even after point 4, requiring only a little attention from an average, independent hiker. There is a bit of road on the way back, but it's not a problem. On that note, it seems that this return route could be improved by taking the paths marked on the IGN map from Feners.

The dolmen is worth a detour, but don't forget your compass to avoid going round in circles if the fog rolls in!

Thanks to the author.
