Rouffiac-des-Corbières walks

A 16 km loop that passes under the walls of Peyrepertuse Castle, with views of Quéribus Castle and the Quille Massif. Most of the hike is in the woods. Finally, the Verdouble Gorges with their pools and waterfalls offer a refreshing and relaxing break.

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).

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.

Very nice circuit that will take you over grazing areas that are still used. The last part of the circuit overhangs the gorges of Galamus.

A very pretty route that takes you through areas still used for grazing and to Pech Auroux, offering a 360° view of the Corbières to the north, the Fenouillèdes to the south and Bugarach to the west. The last part of the route overlooks the Gorges de Galamus. Hike closer to 750 m elevation gain. A less challenging version is available: Le Pla de Brézou

Hike through the Maury vineyards with panoramic views of the valley and unusual views of the Château de Quéribus.

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 beautiful, fairly challenging circular between Aude and Pyrénées Orientales with a magnificent 360° panorama at the summit of Paradet as a reward.

A hike from a pretty little village on the Sentier Cathare GR®367, the GR®36, and the GRP® Tour des Fenouillèdes.A sense of direction is required. The reward comes at the summit, with its 360° panorama.On the way back, a visit to a large and beautiful cave is very interesting.

At the meeting point of the African-Iberian and European tectonic plates, this interpretive trail offers many geological, natural and scenic attractions through vineyards, fir trees and heathland.

In Sougraigne, in the heart of the Hautes Corbières, springs forth the Sals, a saltwater spring that has always attracted the attention of neighbouring populations. Today, the Salicorne association brings together the surrounding villages around a common project. It invites you to discover this unique site, once frequented by many different people: glassmakers, jet miners, charcoal burners, woodcutters, shepherds, peddlers and, of course, smugglers and customs officers from the Ferme Générale hot on their heels.

An exceptional route starting from Ansignan and its famous Roman aqueduct, where you will discover the beautiful village of Saint-Arnac and a sumptuous panorama at Pic Vergès.

It's not the most interesting route in the massif, but it's the shortest way to quickly reach the summit of the famous site that became legendary in 2012, the Pech de Bugarach, the mysterious highest point of the Corbières massif, a foothill of the Pyrenees and a landmark for griffon vultures, which you're sure to spot.

Route providing access to Pech de Bugarach.Warning: the access path is extremely damaged and eroded. It is more like a mountain trail.Do not underestimate this short hike, where you will need to use your hands in places. I have classified it as difficult.Please stay on the marked path. Warning signs saying "Hors Sentier" (off trail) have been installed in many places. Thank you. 5 May 2025. Route updated following user comments. So please follow the advice above: stay on the marked paths.

On the heights between Ansignan and Lac de Caramany, the village of Truilla clings to its granite mountain. The first inhabitants used the boulders scattered across the area to build their tombs. The trail winds through this landscape of ridges and granite chaos, connecting two of these dolmens lost in the heart of the vineyards. Recent information: fences have been installed between points 6 and 7, preventing access.

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.

A large, gentle hill that is easily accessible, Milobre de Bouisse nevertheless rises to an altitude of 878 m and offers a magnificent view of the Corbières, the Canigou massif, Pech de Bugarach and the Ariège Pyrenees. After an open first section dominated by pastures, the route continues through charming valleys where conifers grow alongside numerous deciduous species before returning to the meadows for a final panoramic view.

This splendid hike invites you to discover a magnificent forest with its springs, its view of the Canigou massif... and of course this truly remarkable beech tree: the 500-year-old Fajas d'en Baillette!

Starting from the small medieval village of Villerouge-Termenès, this route offers a wide variety of views over the vineyards of the plain, the scrubland, the woods and the wild canyons of the Hautes Corbières. At an altitude of 500 metres, you can see the Montagne Noire and the magnificent Pyrenees mountain range in the distance.

A beautiful approach to Lake Caramany with views along the route.

In this remote corner, two hours from the nearest village, families dedicated to farming lived just a few decades ago.

When the valley was unsafe, the men would retreat to the heights. The hills surrounding the Boulzane and Agly valleys are dotted with prestigious strongholds (Puylaurens, Fenouillet, Quéribus, etc.). And getting there was no easy task, as the Gorges de Saint-Jaume demonstrate.

An ascent through forest, with beautiful stands of cedar trees. A pleasant ridge walk with beautiful views.

Loop around Valmigère in the undergrowth, then up to the heights with a beautiful panorama of the Pyrenees and the Pic de Bugarach. The loop is marked with a descriptive sign in front of the town hall and marked in yellow. It is described in an anti-clockwise direction, but I recommend doing it clockwise, as the slopes are gentler on the way up (I did the loop in this direction). The signs indicate a time of 3 hours, which should be taken into account with breaks, as it is not difficult.
