Saint-Martin-Lys walks

A beautiful, shaded hike in the forest of the charming village of Saint-Martin-Lys, at the foot of the River Aude. This route is well worth the detour, with a beautiful viewpoint over the Axat Valley at the start of the trail.

A family hike accessible to all, in the Aude Pyrenees, leading to the Belvédère du Diable viewpoint, with the chance to discover the unusual Carach chalet along a constantly shaded route.

A lovely walk through the forest, sheltered from the wind on days when the Tramontane is strong. A challenging hike with a steep climb to reach the Belvédère de la Mousquière, but the view more than makes up for the effort!!! Beautiful views from the Belvédères du Diable and lovely glimpses of the Quillan valley or Bugarach along the route.

An easy hike, partly through the woods, suitable for families. Most of the hike is on a track. You can visit the castle (check opening times). It is closed in winter.

This short forest hike will take you to the top of a hill with a magnificent view of Puilaurens Castle. It is an interesting addition to a visit to the castle.

A walk with lovely views over the Quillan cirque.

A challenging hike if you choose the circular Belvédère du Diable with its high, airy viewpoint! The route takes you through forests, along tracks and paths, with the amazing Chalet de Carach, the villages of Belvianes and Cavirac to discover, and a return trip along the Aude river: magnificent! Please take note of the comments in the description regarding points (5) and (6).

A very beautiful walk with stunning views: Madres – Pérics – Ginèvre – Roc Blanc – Tarbesous – Saint-Barthélémy – Bugarach – Canigou, as well as the three valleys and Puymaurens Castle. Please note: the path runs along the edge of a cliff and should be avoided in strong winds or rainy weather.

Nature trail along the Aude river and urban trail through the villages of Campagne-sur-Aude and Espéraza.

A short walk before visiting the village of Counozouls and its craft brewery. There are a few shaded sections along the Ruisseau de Bailleurs. When we walked this route in July, crossing the stream was straightforward. After heavy rain, you may need to take off your shoes.

A marked, steady climb up to La Couillade, then on to the Hommenet viewpoint. The climb up to Le Pech is then very steep. Vast landscapes that are still maintained and used for grazing. On the return journey, a chance to explore the Bois de l’Orri, with its large pastures still in use. After the telecoms mast, a charming grassy path leads back to the village. A walk along well-marked paths, forest tracks and a short stretch of track suitable for vehicles. => The GPX track may prove useful. => Some strange new signposts have appeared and are causing confusion at the junctions.

An unmissable hike in the Aude region, accessible to all, starting from Nébias and taking you to discover the enigmatic Green Labyrinth.

A hike partly through the woodland, to explore the Pierres Tremblantes and the Fauteuil du Diable sites.
