L'Albère walks

This route will take you via the Col de Llinas to Puig Sant Cristau and its chapel, offering magnificent 360° panoramic views.

Circular hike with several passes and a ridge trail. From the Chapel of Sant Cristau and Puig d'Orella, two very beautiful 360° landscapes. See practical information. GPX track required.

The ascent to Puig Neulós will be via the ridge line from St-Martin de l'Albère (Sant Martí).The route then passes through the Tanyareda refuge, Spain and Coll de l'Ullat.Old marked and unmarked paths and theGR®®10are part of this beautiful hike.This hike can be a complementary variation of my hike: La Tanyareda.

Circular route starting from the Col de l'Ullat, which leads along the ridge to the Pic du Néoulous with remarkable panoramic views on both sides of the Côte Vermeille, on the French side and on Spanish territory, not to mention the eastern Pyrenees. Return via an easy route. Definitely worth doing in good weather, but the wind can be strong on the ridge up to the summit.

This is an 8-shaped hike, which allows you to adapt it to suit your preferences. This hike uses both theGR®10and lesser-known paths. The France-Spain border ridge offers beautiful landscapes on both sides. Passage at Puig Neulós, Pou de Neu (Spain), Chalet de l'Albères (Coll de l'Ullat).

In Le Perthus, we go to buy alcohol, but that's not all... Discover this beautiful circular route that passes by the stunning Fito Waterfall (Salt del Fito) and offers beautiful panoramic views of Bellegarde Fort and Canigou. Best done after it has rained so you can enjoy the waterfall and river.

An easy hike from Le Perthus offering views of the Spanish valley towards La Jonquera. Part of the route follows the border and takes you past military buildings from yesteryear (fort and redoubt) as well as the Roman site of Panissars, including the remains of the Via Domitia.

A beautiful paved path and another very steep path lead up to the track leading to Coll and the Espinassa fountain. From Coll de Llinàs, there is a beautiful climb to Sant Cristau. The return route passes by the Font de Sant Cristau, a beautiful forest and a cross. To give your knees a rest, the rest of the descent is via a track and a path passing through the abandoned gardens of Mary Fort. During the hike, there are views of the Roussillon plain, Canigou, etc.

A beautiful, steady climb to Coll de l'Espinassa (Espinàs). It is entirely possible to follow the track to the large picnic area in order to maintain a constant gradient.There are no fewer than six working fountains on the way to the pass (10). Then there is a very steep descent to the picnic area passed on the way there (6). And a pleasant return to the village.During the hike, sheltered from the tramontane wind, there are views of the Roussillon plain, Les Aspres and Canigou. The GPX track is necessary on this route given the paths taken, which are not necessarily maintained.It is possible to do this hike in the opposite direction, starting from the Trois Vents fountain (6), so that the return trip along the track is less steep. The aim of the hike is to reach the Coll de l'Espinàs (10), and the return journey can simply be made by the same route.

This peak is less well known than its neighbour, Pic Néoulous (Pic Neulos). Marked trail (PRLAR11) on beautiful paths through the woods in the Albères.

Hike to discover the fountains of Laroque-des-Albères: the Font dels Simiots and amazing animals which, according to legend, kidnapped babies and came to settle near the fountain after being dislodged from Arles-sur-Tech; the Font de la Vernosa, a well-preserved, beautiful fountain from where one has a magnificent view of the plain of Roussillon.

This hike allows you to discover the Albères national forest and offers magnificent views of the Mediterranean coast to the east, the Roussillon plain to the north, Catalonia to the south and Canigou to the west.

A lovely hike on a yellow-marked trail, mostly through the woods, with some beautiful views of the radiant coastline.

Half-day hikes with a significant elevation gain. Visit the heritage site in the heart of a forest consisting mainly of holm oaks and cork oaks. The refuge, in a beautiful open location, is the destination of this hike. GPX track strongly recommended. The path is marked (more or less clearly) except between (10) and (11) and between (12) and in the direction described.

E-MTB route, only on DFCI trails, with no technical difficulty. The goal is to reach Pic du Néoulous, the highest point of the Albères mountain range, to admire a superb view covering both Spain and the Côte Vermeille coastline.
