All in all, a fairly challenging hike in places due to the steep gradient.
At Puig d’Orella, a beautiful viewpoint awaits you.
At Coll de l’Ullat, the view is also lovely and a welcoming chalet bar-restaurant awaits you.
At Casot d’en Lic, you can see information boards about the flora of the Albères.

A wild, rocky coastline, small forgotten coves, terraced vineyards that seem to hang above the waves: this is what you can expect on this hike, dotted with maritime pines and prickly pears. Along the way, the beautifully restored, history-steeped site of Paulilles and various beaches inviting you to take a dip add to the pleasure of this walk in the soft light of the Côte Vermeille.

First stage of this trek to Amélie-les-Bains. A big day awaits you, but you'll be rewarded with spectacular views. Thefirst morning is physically demanding, especially if it's hot in summer. You'll climb 1,000 metres in one go. The rest of the day is more relaxed, as you'll be on the ridge.
