Paziols walks

A very pleasant circular route connecting two villages in the Aude department. From Paziols, a ridge trail leads to the Col de la Heath. Then, crossing the Pas de la Serre allows you to switch to the other side of the mountain and reach Padern. Then the Chemin Cathare (GR®367), almost like a balcony, allows you to enjoy this wine-growing landscape. All that remains is to continue along a track through beautiful countryside to reach Paziols. Elevation gain closer to 500 m.

A varied hike starting from Paziols: heath, small wild and forgotten valleys, wide balcony trails offering magnificent panoramic views of the Corbières and the Pyrenees. A short section of challenging but safe terrain adds spice to this hike, which can be rounded off with a tasting of the renowned local wines.

This circular starting from Paziols will take you through heath and vineyards. The route starts at the village cemetery and then heads south. At the end of the trail, the climb up to the plateau will take you past sheepfolds and vineyards. The descent to the village is via footpaths and then roads.

From the village of Vingrau, pass through the cliffs via the Trou (passage) du Cheval. From this point, it is essential to follow the very good recent markings and the numerous cairns, staying below the ridge without descending. The path below the Serra ridge is difficult: you will sometimes need to use your hands. It consists of constant ascents and descents. However, there is no danger (no drop). This section is not recommended in strong winds. There is an alternative route that avoids this ridge: see practical information.There are many viewpoints and panoramic views, including Canigó, various mountain ranges and the Mediterranean Sea.

This is a fairly challenging route to reach the peaks of the iconic Vingrau mountain, a climber's paradise and world-famous site. After an easy approach walk to Trauc del Cavall, the rest of the hike involves a radical change of terrain that requires caution and endurance. However, the magnificent views to the east and west are well worth the effort.

From Padern, climb up to the castle, cross the Pas de Massac and the Pas de la Serre.Then there is a superb passage along the ridge to reach the Roc de la Capéliane. Next, follow the tracks, with beautiful scenery, to descend to a discreet path that climbs back up along the Ruisseau de Grazels. Back at the crossroads of the two loops, cross the Pas de la Goutine to return to the village.This circuit may be considered quite difficult by some people.The GPX track is necessary at various points to confirm your position, particularly at (12) and (13).It is possible to do only part of this circuit. *

A round trip to the Catalan Corbières region will take you to the Tour del Far, where you can enjoy a magnificent 360° panorama. Thishike is strongly discouraged in high winds.

A getaway to the Catalan Corbières region, where you can discover Tautavel and its interesting heritage.

A superb landscape with views of the Corbières and Roussillon. Best done when there is no wind. This is a circular route of 4 hours and the route is easy. There are a few steep sections. It is limestone rock from start to finish, so good footwear is recommended. From here, you can see Aguilar Castle, Opoul Castle, Canigou, the sea, the Corbières and Roussillon!

An exceptional hike, but: - the 6 km ridge walk from Grau de Maury to La Quille. - the route passes close to steep cliffs and includes a section of rock climbing, so it is strongly advised against for people who are prone to vertigo. Only experienced hikers in good physical condition and accustomed to rocky terrain can complete this hike safely. GPX track essential. Be prepared to turn back if necessary.

A hike in the heights of the Corbières, in a rather rugged natural environment where the hand of man is still visible. Beautiful views along the way, mining heritage, and a still-thriving wine industry.

From the village, a climb to the foot of the Château de Quéribus on well-marked paths. See: practical information. The descent is quite steep, after waypoint (5). It's quite possible to do this circuit the other way round, and climb from waypoint (6) to (5).

This is an alternative way to the Tour de Tautavel from Cases-de-Pène. Advantage: sheltered from the tramontana wind. Disadvantage: sunny in summer.

A climb to Roc Rodon which, despite its modest altitude, offers exceptional views of the Pyrenees and the Corbières. After passing the Hermitage of Notre-Dame de Pène, a long ridge walk leads to the village of Calce. The route continues through the vineyards, leading to the Chapel of Sainte-Catherine before climbing back up to the ridge and returning to the starting point via a balcony path overlooking the Agly valley. A very varied and exotic route on the outskirts of Perpignan.

A short climb on a rocky trail leads to an old hermitage in a superb setting with a beautiful view from the top.
