A beautiful hike that is a must on a clear day to see the Pyrenees.
I can confirm that there are indeed slides 😁
At point 5, the forest track is quite muddy, but there is a dry section
To warm up for the Pyrenees, we went to see the Garonne at point 7, which is downhill (beware of muddy terrain if it has rained)
The roads are really not busy; most of them are paths except at crossroads
We did it in 3 hours and 15 minutes 👍

Varied and pleasant landscape, with the Pyrenees in the distance.
Mainly tarmac route.
The descent towards the Garonne is a bit challenging.

A pleasant country walk, but unfortunately too much tarmac. At point 5, the forest track is muddy and not easy to walk on in clear weather to enjoy the view of the Pyrenean mountains.

An easy and enjoyable hike, with a few slides-like ascents and descents.
It has rained a lot in recent days, so the descent to the Garonne is a little slippery (go to the left or right of the path on the grass (very well marked trail).
A few large stalks were blocking access to the Garonne. A very beautiful river that makes you want to swim (preferably in summer when the water level is low).
I saw the picnic table (set back in the woods). A few dogs barked, but only one little dog came to see me.
On leaving the village of Les Mourères, I turned right towards the D26 Montsaunès, before realising my mistake. Of course, you have to go straight on (the path narrows, IGN map is perfect).

A pleasant walk, although with a slightly high tarmac/path ratio – in favour of tarmac, even though it is used more on paths than on roads. The Pyrenees mountain range, with Cagire as its highest peak, is visible almost all the time. Between 4 and 5, a small correction is needed: the picnic table has disappeared, but the barrier that opens (or closes) the forest path has not. Right at the end, it should probably be pointed out that you need to leave the path on your left and continue straight ahead, following the no entry sign. The title (the slides) is well chosen: you go up and down almost constantly: short steep sections followed, thankfully, by short descents. A plus.

I just wanted to warn dog walkers. All along the route there are hamlets and farmhouses where dogs can come out. Several rushed at us threateningly. Luckily, my dog is very calm around aggressive dogs, so we escaped the worst on several occasions. These dogs are simply protecting their territory, but if you are apprehensive about these situations or have a reactive dog, I think it is best to avoid this hike.
Otherwise, there are superb views all along the way!

A really enjoyable hike, admittedly with a lot of tarmac, but we found the scenery very interesting,
steep climbs followed by steep descents... like slides!
I recommend it.

This route would be perfect... if it weren't for the fact that 98% of it is tarmac. It's really tedious.
Otherwise, lovely views of the mountain range.

Hello, everyone.
We did this hike in beautiful weather, and it really lives up to its name (uphill and downhill). It's a lovely route with beautiful views of the Pyrenees (some peaks dusted with snow), and we saw a stag and two young deer. No problem following the route given the precise description. Personally, I found there was a bit too much tarmac, but it's not easy to create a trail. Thank you for sharing.
