Very difficult
Departure from Les Angles (Pyrénées-Orientales) (Pyrénées-Orientales)
A varied hike (forest, lake, pastures, rocky peaks) leading to a beautiful summit with magnificent views. Two-thirds of the route is unmarked, but the path is visible thanks to cairns. The descent along the ridges gives you time to take it all in.
Caution: there are vertiginous sections, even though there is no climbing involved and a path runs along the ridges; check the weather forecast as clouds coming in from the Ariège can spoil everything, and damp conditions make the rocks slippery.

Departure from Orlu (Ariège)
Fourth and final stage of the tour of the Orlu and Montagne d'Ax reserves.I have classified this stage as difficult because of the 1,650 m descent on a steep and sometimes damaged path.The view from the Couillade d'en Beys (3) to the dam (8) is magnificent.The stage begins by heading in the opposite direction to the previous day's route, taking theGR®®107and theGRP®® Tour des Pérics andGRP®® Tour des Montagnes d'Ax. At (2), be careful to turn right, west, onto theGRP®® Tour des Montagnes d'Ax, and continue until you reach the end of the four-day hike.The estimated time is underestimated: the descent is difficult on steep and degraded paths after the Couillade d'en Beys (3).
⚠️ From (S/E) to (10), you are on the edge of or within the Orlu National Hunting and Wildlife Reserve, where regulations must be observed. See practical information.
