Montferrer walks

This walk takes about an hour and a half to two hours including time to explore the castle. The way up is fairly steep but should be fine for people who are moderately fit.

A pleasant, bucolic walk in the Haut Vallespir in Montferrer to explore the ruins of Montferrer Castle (el Castell Mollet).

A circular hike in Vallespir starting from the mountain village of Montferrer (830m), built on a rocky outcrop known as "lo Cingle", which offers stunning views from the foot of the feudal castle over the Roussillon plain to the sea.Beautiful landscapes can be seen throughout this hike.

Another way to climb La Souque (La Soca).Pass through Castell de Mollet, then climb the steep path to the summit, marked by a flagpole flying the Catalan flag, with a 360° view. On the way back, pass by the Brigader shelter and fountain (which has been dry for a long time).This circular double hike takes place on beautiful paths, recalibrated tracks and old small tracks.The beautiful landscapes, occasional wildlife and cows (in summer) are a reward in themselves.There are beautiful spots that are perfect for restorative breaks. Allow at least 6 hours for the hike.The hike is classified as moderate, but beware of the steep slope of the (11) at the summit (13).

A variation on my previously published hike. It allows you to start higher up, passing by the Font del Brigader and the Coll de l’Estanyol. From the Sant Guillem Refuge: a return route via the semi-underground sheepfold, which is nearly sixty metres long. Beautiful scenery all along the way and lovely spots for breaks. A warm welcome at the refuge. ⚠️ Warning: observed on 3 September 2026 => The track from Coll de la Rua (S/E) to the Atri del Brigarder (2) has not been cleared. Following several storms, a large number of fir trees are completely blocking the track as soon as it enters the forest. => This circular route cannot be completed until further notice.

This is a pleasant circular route that allows you to discover the beautiful village of Corsavy and walk through a magnificent boxwood forest, where the sun hardly penetrates. The moss growing on the trunks and branches of the trees gives the forest a strange and mysterious character. The elevation gain is relatively low, but be careful, as at times the path is quite difficult to see and you need to pay close attention, especially if you don't have a GPS signal to follow the trail.

A beautiful getaway in the Haut Vallespir, starting from the village of Le Tech, which will take you to the magnificent panorama of the Conjurador de Serralongue. To reach the starting point, enter the village of Le Tech, then turn immediately left to cross the Tech river via a concrete ford and finally park in the car park next to the tennis court.

Circular walk. The first section takes you to a former grazing area. A still-standing orri, a large hut with a vaulted dry-stone roof and a newer, comfortable hut in very good condition are on the itinerary. The second section follows a path climbing along a ridge. The final part of the hike, along the track, offers a comfortable descent. Beautiful scenery accessible throughout the day. This walk is largely signposted. Please note that after heavy rain or at the end of winter, from the hut, it will probably be necessary to return to the (5) and continue along theGRP® to cross the Riu Ferrer.

A lovely walk through the woods, best enjoyed in autumn due to the varied, colourful vegetation and beautiful views of the foothills of Canigou.

First, following the description, there is the Tower (signal tower), the Keep (garrison), then the Castle.Magnificent landscapes along the path connecting these buildings.- Do not underestimate this long hike. The GPX track will be a great help on this route with its many crossroads and junctions. The descent from the castle is very tricky.- There are many places and viewpoints from which to admire the landscape.- Short version options * in Practical Information.Classified as difficult because of the route between the tower, the keep, the castle and the descent from it.- The five fords ** may be problematic after heavy rain (observed on 15 June 2023).

Loop around the Sant-Guillem Chapel offering beautiful views of the Vallespir.Caution: the Torrent de la Coumelade cannot be crossed during snowmelt or after heavy storms.

A hike in the Haut Vallespir along a small road, forest tracks and a PR® trail.The route takes in beautiful pastures, a sheepfold, the Sant Guillem mountain hut and chapel, and an arboretum.See the section ‘During the hike or nearby’.This hike is the shorter version of my hike ‘The St-Guillem refuge via the Coll de Rua and the Estanyol from La Llau’

From La Llau, the ascent via the Coll de la Roua, the Haut Vallespir State Forest, La Fontaine and the Abri del Brigader is steady. After that, the climb is steep until you reach the Pla de Rodes and the Coll de l’Estanyol, where there are still large areas of active pastureland. Finally, the last climb from the Coll de l’Estanyol is magnificent. This is followed by the descent to the Sant-Guillem refuge and chapel, nestled in a beautiful pasture. ⚠️ Warning: observed on 3 September 2026 => The track from the Coll de la Rua (3) to the Abri del Brigader (6) has not been cleared. Following a series of storms, a large number of fir trees are completely blocking the track as soon as it enters the forest. => This circular route cannot be completed until further notice.

A very beautiful hike offering access to the Batère Tower via a little-known path.Discover the Jacouty Station, the Dolmen, the Palet de Rotllan, the Coll Bufador, the Torre de Batera, the Coll de la Descarga and the Refuge des Vigourats.This hike is classified as very difficult because, although it is largely signposted, it requires a good sense of direction and observation skills during part of the ascent.

Mostly a hike through the woods, on a path that climbs up the mountainside through holm oaks and cork oaks, pleasant in fine weather. Several viewpoints over the Tech valley and Canigou and river crossings. A fairly impressive cornice passage (not recommended for those who suffer from vertigo). Crossing the Bas Vallespir State Forest. Several farmhouses (ruins) and dry stone walls bear witness to the fact that man has cultivated and lived in these places.
