Torrential streams, huts, lakes, peaks, mountain huts, animals and spectacular landscapes await you. Camporells protected area: see the regulations in force; dogs must be kept on a lead. Free car parks. The hike is fully marked. Except for the option that avoids the bends on the track from (10) to (13).

An easier ascent to the Pic de Mortiers than my route: the Pic de Mortiers – Les Camporells from the Formiguères resort. This walk can be a simple out-and-back route, without passing the Camporells Refuge and its ponds. Alternative routes are described for the return leg. Much of the walk is in open country and the scenery is magnificent. Please note: this is a protected area and part of the Natura 2000 network.
