Montastruc-de-Salies walks
The Figarol slides
This circular starting from Saint-Martin is a good warm-up to prepare you for climbing the Pyrenean peaks. It will take you down and then back up some pretty hills in the foothills, around Figarol, to reach the bed of the Garonne before climbing back up to the starting point, with the Cagire as your focal point.
Circular Pré Carré and Artigues from Saleich
This hike takes place on good tracks and forest roads, through beautiful forests of beech, ash, chestnut, boxwood and other trees. The descent is mainly on less comfortable paths, which require a little more attention as they are less well-trodden. The yellow markings are good, but seem to have been scratched and partially erased between points (8) and (9). The route, which is mostly in the shade, can be done in any season. However, avoid periods of fog due to the reported problem of poor markings on part of the route.
Saleich loop via Urau and Castelbiague
This easy hike is located on the border of Haute-Garonne and at the gateway to Ariège. You will walk along the foothills of the Pyrenees. Varied landscapes and architectural sites are waiting to be discovered on this interesting walk.
Crête de Cournudère or Cornudère or Cap des Teches
Arbas, land of bears, paragliders and beautiful hikes! The hike I suggest follows a ridge trail and offers beautiful views of the Comminges to the north and the high peaks of the Pyrenees to the south, all without much difficulty.
The Tuc de Tucol from Arbas
An easy hike once you've made the climb, with magnificent views of the Pyrenees.
On the heights of Aspet
This hike starts at the unusual Miègecoste Chapel, follows a discovery trail with the ruins of a watchtower, and continues on a large loop around the heights of Aspet. It is one of the most beautiful vantage points for admiring the Pic de Cagire, the "lord of Comminges".
The hills of Salies-du-Salat
Beautiful views of the Pyrenees and the Salies-du-Salat valley.
Pleasant, undulating paths.
Le Puech from the Col de Portet d'Aspet
The summit offers a beautiful panorama. The route takes you through the forest to the Col de l'Artigue, then gently climbs to the summit of Puech.
The Portet d'Aspet Pass - The Pic de Paloumère
The hike is suitable in all seasons. If there is snow, snowshoes may be necessary (depending on the depth).
From Razecueillé to Tachoires via the Pic de Paloumère (or Pic de l'Aube)
A beautiful line hike, which requires you to leave a vehicle at the finish beforehand. From the village of Razecueillé, the route takes you directly to the Pic de Paloumère, offering magnificent views of the Piedmont to the north and the highest peaks to the south, east and west. The route to the finish is very varied: forestry paths, ridges, old paths that are a little forgotten and therefore poorly marked, beech forests frequented mainly by wild boar and roe deer.
The Bourdaous trail from Cazavet
Discover the bourdaous, which are pastoral mountain hamlets, groups of barns and stables used in the past during the summer months. A bourdaou can also be an isolated barn with an adjoining hut, a very basic dwelling for shepherds. This route offers the chance to discover some of them, starting from Cazavet and climbing up to the Cours mountain pasture. The route passes by the summit of Roc de Maléchart, where a 360° view allows you to discover the Pyrenees mountain range.
The barns of Balagué
Sunshine, panoramic views of the Vallier massif and the Pyrenees, and barns are all on the agenda for this loop above the village of Balagué.
Loop on the Wild West trail between Sepx, Latoue and Aulon
This hike follows part of the Western Wilderness Trail that connects Cazeneuve Montaut to Latoue. Here, it forms a loop that allows you to return to the starting point: the village of Sepx.
Belbèze-en-Comminges
From the village, the view of the Pyrenees is magnificent. Belbèze lives up to its name (in Occitan, Belbèze means "beautiful view"). Throughout the hike, the route offers unobstructed views, mainly of the Pyrenean peaks.
Pic de la Calabasse loop via the Col de l'Herbe Soulette
This hike will take you to the summit of Pic de la Calabasse (2,210 m) via Col de l'Herbe Soulette and Col de la Terme. The forest road allows you to warm up, then pass through forests and large expanses of summer pastures. A short stretch along the ridge leads to magnificent views of the surrounding valleys and peaks, including Maladeta.
Pic de l'Escalette and Cabane de Larreix from the Col de Menté
A very pleasant circular with autumn colours. Only to be attempted in good weather. Splendid 360° view from the Pic d'Escalette over the surrounding peaks.
Feasible in winter with good snow conditions but classified as difficult with frozen ground.
Pic de l'Escalette from the Col de Menté
A beautiful hike that is accessible to families as it is fairly short. It offers magnificent views of the Pyrenees and ends in a rather rocky environment.
The views are quite dizzying for a hike of this length, but you do get to reach a peak!
Pic de Cagire from the Col de Menté
This hike allows you to reach the Pic de Cagire in a morning, offering a 360° view between the plain and the highest peaks of the Pyrenees.
07/01/2024: Hiking prohibited to the public from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025 by municipal decree (from Pic de L'Escalette towards Pas de l'Âne via the ridges located in the commune of Boutx).
This hike is strongly discouraged in winter due to its dangerous nature, particularly between the summit of Les Parets and Col du Pas de l'Âne! See practical information.
Le Mourtis - Tuc de Pan loop
A beautiful hike with no major difficulties, most of which takes place under the trees. At the summit of Tuc de Pan (1,724 m), you will discover an exceptional panorama of the Garonne valley as it enters France, as well as the Maladeta Massif, among other sights.
Pic de l'Arraing from Uchentein
Summit with a superb view of the Couserans part of the Pyrenees mountain range.
Col de l'Arraing
Splendid view of the Couserans peaks with a crossing of a summer pasture and the discovery of an old marble quarry.
