Saint-Arnac walks

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.

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.

Nestled amongst the granite and limestone hills of the Fenouillèdes, Lansac is a peaceful little wine-growing village. The walk, starting from the winery, circles Roc de Lansac before returning to the village. A landscape of limestone and granite heath.

A pleasant 33 km route through the Fenouillèdes, following the Agly as far as Ansignan and Lake Caramany, then climbing towards the villages of Lansac and Lesquerde. This is part of the Wine Route. For enthusiasts, there are numerous dolmens to see.

A short cycle ride through the vineyards and orchards. No particular difficulties apart from a steep descent before reaching Caudiès-de-Fenouillèdes, and the final section being along the D117,

A pleasant cycle ride through part of the Fenouillèdes region, taking in the ancient thermal baths of Saint-Paul, its hot springs at 28°C and its Via Ferrata. The route follows part of the River Agly, then climbs to offer views of the Canigou mountain range and the village of Maury with its trompe-l’œil murals and its AOP wine.

A cycle ride through the Fenouillet region along small roads offering varied landscapes ranging from vineyards to forests. The villages are small and seem frozen in a bygone era. This route features some steep climbs and fairly fast descents.

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.

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

Hike for autumn and winter. From the church in Le Vivier, head to Prats-de-Sournia via the Col de Guza. Then, after passing Al Carmeill and its orientation tables, head to the Col de Benta Fride. After a stretch of open terrain, there is a long descent through the beech forest of the Forêt Communale du Vivier, following theGR®36. The total elevation gain is close to 750 m. The hike is not marked at the start. The GPX track may therefore be useful (S/E) at (6).

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!

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

Rocky landscapes, forest trails, views of the Canigou and Bugarach.A GPS is useful on certain sections.This hike is not recommended if you are prone to vertigo.

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 beautiful, challenging hike around the Galamus Gorges, which you will follow from the start of the route. The arrival at Pla de Brézou is also magnificent. A huge space at this location.

A surprising and pleasant hike on the Séquières Plateau, a former mixed farming area. See the highest point of the plateau, the medieval village of Séquières (its name could be translated as "the high rock") with its restored and inhabited sheepfolds, its castle (12th century), or rather a fortified house, with two strange pillars over 12 metres high nicknamed "les demoiselles" (the young ladies). Visit the ruins of the Romanesque church of Saint-Vincent (12th century). An easy hike.

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.

This circular route, marked in yellow, starts from the village of Belesta and climbs up to Pic d'Aubeil, then descends towards the sheepfold, the dolmen and finally the village.

Before the current border was established, Roussillon was officially part of Spain between 1258 and 1659. Very few boundary markers from this original border remain. The trail allows you to discover three of them, as well as a cave and an ice well; it also offers superb views of the Pyrenees and the Corbières.

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.

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.

Starting from the village of Sournia, this circular route takes you to the beautiful village of Campoussy. It also allows you to discover lovely paths, stone huts, springs, wayside shrines, a memorial stone, and vast landscapes covered in low vegetation. The GR®36 and the GRP® Tour des Fenouillèdes are among the paths taken.Although almost the entire circular route is signposted, you must be extra vigilant as it features three different types of signposting! Please note: on several occasions the IGN base map is inaccurate; the OSM base map may be helpful. There are many changes in direction and signposting. Total elevation gain closer to 550 m.The GPX track is strongly recommended.

The ancient Gallo-Celtic oppidum of Sournia and Campoussy enjoy a remarkable mid-mountain setting. In this contrasting landscape of the Desix Valley, the land preserves Roman (bridge), Roman-Mozarabic and Templar remains. The route alternates between footpaths (GR®36,PR®) and forest tracks.

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).

A lovely circular of two hours starting from Montalba-le-Château and passing through Puig Pedrous.

After a fairly steep climb from the village of Tarerach, a hike through the hills to discover a few rocks, peaks and the ruins of a church, a sheepfold and a fortified house. Vast landscapes throughout this circular route.

A very pleasant hike, but best avoided in summer. Beautiful views of Bugarach and the Corbières. Along the route, you can see the site of the old glass furnaces and taste the saltwater spring. The hike is classified as difficult because you need to know how to find your way, read a map and/or follow the GPS track. The GPS track and map are almost essential as there are many paths and the trails are not always well marked.
