The hills of Montbrun-Bocage via Les Cabanères
This walk will allow you to explore the open countryside around Montbrun-Bocage and take you to the Plantaurel ridge via old paths and forest tracks. You will come across numerous springs and streams. A GPS will be essential as signposting is virtually non-existent.

Circular walk above Montbrun with views over the village, the ruins of its castle, the Chapel of Montaut and its spring. A walk through the forest with lovely views of the bocage.
Circuit from Notre-Dame de Montaut to Montbrun-Bocage
A family walk on well-maintained and marked trails through forests, pastures and varied landscapes, with a view of the Pyrenees from the ridge. This route allows you to discover a rich heritage: the village with its half-timbered houses, a ruined castle, an outdoor sculpture exhibition, and more. The loop begins or ends, depending on your choice, at Lac de Bouydou, a fishing lake with pontoons, picnic tables and a barbecue. This route can be done in either direction.

This beautiful, long walk with moderate elevation changes alternates between plains, ridges and woodland. It allows you to discover the countryside of the Arize valley.

A short and pleasant walk along the ridges, facing the Pyrenees. The climb is a little steep at the start, but accessible with good footwear (less experienced walkers should avoid muddy periods).
Bout de la Forêt trail in Contrazy
This hike takes place mainly on agricultural and forest tracks with beautiful views of the Pyrenean foothills. Contrazy is a hamlet that you will only discover when you see the sign, as it is nestled in its green surroundings. Beautiful renovated farms, a remarkable church, a street decorated with flowers. On the way back, don't miss the unusual Notre-Dame de la Goutte chapel in Montardit.
The Argain tour in Montesquieu-Volvestre
The Volvestre inter-communal tourist office offers a marked and secure route.
You will appreciate the calm and serenity of the hamlet of Argain, which will welcome you before or after your walk. This is a pleasant short hike with an uphill section that allows you to admire the hillsides of Volvestre against the backdrop of the Pyrenean peaks.
If you prefer circulars, you can return via the small road through the woods rather than going back through the forest. To do this, at the point (6), turn right and follow the road to the chapel.

You will admire the most peaceful landscapes: views of the Pyrenees, emerald forests worthy of the greatest fantasy films, and hills stretching as far as the eye can see.
