A lovely walk starting from the Col de Port, with stunning views of the Pyrenees range: Mont Fourcat, Saint-Barthélémy, Montcalm, Pic d’Estats, Trois Seigneurs, Mont Vallier and, on a clear day, sometimes the Pic du Midi de Bigorre. The walk can be halved by turning back at the Pic de Razels.
Roc de Peyre Caussile and Cap de Campets circular walk

Departure from Boussenac (Ariège)
This signposted walk in the Massif de l’Arize is well worth exploring. The Roc de Peyre Caussile (1,339 m) and the Cap de Campets (1,504 m) are two peaks linked to the pastoral history of the Couserans and the ancient paths connecting the valleys. On this heavily wooded route, you’ll enjoy views of Massat, the Séronais, the Arize and, on a clear day, as far as the Toulouse plains, the Corbières and the Aude. At Cap de Campets, the 360° view is magnificent, stretching from Cap Carmil to Mont Valier and taking in the entire Couserans massif.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all those who, year after year, maintain these paths with such passion – whether they are local authority staff, enthusiasts or hunters.
