This hike, with an elevation gain of almost 2,000 metres, follows the yellow markings.
To get to the starting point, Col de Millères, take the N116 to Prades. In the sub-prefecture, head towards Taurinya, pass the village and park at Col de Millères.
(S/E) At the pass, follow the small road up to a signpost.
(1) Take the Balatg forest track, which you will cross a good ten times. Pay attention each time you cross the track, as the yellow markings that cross the track each time are sometimes difficult to find.
(2) You will stop crossing the track at Escala de l'Ours. From this point onwards, you simply follow the forest track.
(3) Pass through a tunnel and less than a kilometre later, you will reach the magnificent Refuge de Balatg, where you can enjoy a well-deserved lunch break.
(4) Continue along the forest track, pass Col des Voltes and, less than a kilometre later, you will arrive at a flat area where there is a small refuge (La Jasse des Cortalets).
(5) Pass this refuge and follow the track to Ras des Cortales.
(6) Continue to the right, still on the track, to reach the Refuge des Cortalets.
(7) Take a short break here, as the final stretch will be tough going. Follow the red and white markings ofthe GR®10 trailto the Fontaine de la Perdrix intersection.
(8) Follow the yellow markings opposite, climbing steadily to the summit with its orientation table and iconic cross.
(9) From Pic du Canigou, descend via the same route back to the car park (S/E)
