Salies-du-Salat walks

Beautiful views of the Pyrenees and the Salies-du-Salat valley. Pleasant, undulating paths.

This circular starting from Saint-Martin is a good warm-up to prepare you for climbing the Pyrenean peaks. It will take you down and then back up some pretty hills in the foothills, around Figarol, to reach the bed of the Garonne before climbing back up to the starting point, with the Cagire as your focal point.

From the village, the view of the Pyrenees is magnificent. Belbèze lives up to its name (in Occitan, Belbèze means "beautiful view"). Throughout the hike, the route offers unobstructed views, mainly of the Pyrenean peaks.

This easy hike is located on the border of Haute-Garonne and at the gateway to Ariège. You will walk along the foothills of the Pyrenees. Varied landscapes and architectural sites are waiting to be discovered on this interesting walk.

This hike takes place on good tracks and forest roads, through beautiful forests of beech, ash, chestnut, boxwood and other trees. The descent is mainly on less comfortable paths, which require a little more attention as they are less well-trodden. The yellow markings are good, but seem to have been scratched and partially erased between points (8) and (9). The route, which is mostly in the shade, can be done in any season. However, avoid periods of fog due to the reported problem of poor markings on part of the route.

A family walk on wide, well-maintained and marked trails between forest and pastures with splendid views of the Pyrenees. The route can be done in both directions: the opposite direction to the one described is perhaps even more beautiful! The markings are easy to follow.

This hike follows part of the Western Wilderness Trail that connects Cazeneuve Montaut to Latoue. Here, it forms a loop that allows you to return to the starting point: the village of Sepx.

Discover the local area in the heart of nature. Departure from the commune of Palaminy, on the right bank of the Garonne, at the hamlet of Les Pesquès on the D62. Stay alert, as you will be walking on tarmac roads for much of the route, although there is not much traffic; I only came across one vehicle. However, beautiful paths and tracks await you, and the Ruisseau des Goutères stream is a sight to behold. The route is very well signposted, even if some points are hidden by dense vegetation. Thanks to the Department.

Discover the bourdaous, which are pastoral mountain hamlets, groups of barns and stables used in the past during the summer months. A bourdaou can also be an isolated barn with an adjoining hut, a very basic dwelling for shepherds. This route offers the chance to discover some of them, starting from Cazavet and climbing up to the Cours mountain pasture. The route passes by the summit of Roc de Maléchart, where a 360° view allows you to discover the Pyrenees mountain range.

A varied route, starting from Aurignac, which winds its way through the hills surrounding the town, offering beautiful views of the town and the keep of the count's castle, as well as panoramic views of the Pyrenees (orientation table)... Best enjoyed on a clear day! The walk passes by the prehistoric shelter of Aurignac ("Rhodes Cave"), which was discovered in 1852 and gave its name to the corresponding period (35,000 - 26,000 BC). Information panels on site. The route takes you along some pleasant, well-maintained forest paths; chestnuts can be picked depending on the season.

A lovely family walk, suitable in all seasons, starting in the heart of the bastide town of Le Plan. Set off on a stroll through the countryside to discover the natural and historical curiosities of our region. Take the time to explore the bastide, its stone gates, half-timbered houses, the old Monranier mill, the banks of the Volp, the bridge and dyke, the church, the old convent chapel, the old hearse and the blacksmith's workshop.

Sunshine, panoramic views of the Vallier massif and the Pyrenees, and barns are all on the agenda for this loop above the village of Balagué.

This hike starts at the unusual Miègecoste Chapel, follows a discovery trail with the ruins of a watchtower, and continues on a large loop around the heights of Aspet. It is one of the most beautiful vantage points for admiring the Pic de Cagire, the "lord of Comminges".

The Volvestre inter-communal tourist office offers a marked and secure route. Starting from the Saint-Christaud keep, this walk takes you through the hillsides of Volvestre, with regular ascents and descents. You can admire numerous views of the Pyrenees mountain range and discover the agriculture of Volvestre, its fields and cattle farms. This sunny hike allows you to enjoy magnificent views of the snow-capped Pyrenees in winter and spring.

Arbas, land of bears, paragliders and beautiful hikes! The hike I suggest follows a ridge trail and offers beautiful views of the Comminges to the north and the high peaks of the Pyrenees to the south, all without much difficulty.

An easy hike once you've made the climb, with magnificent views of the Pyrenees.

De ruelles en sentiers, cet itinéraire conduira le promeneur de Saint-Lizier au Montcaliver, belvédère sur l'ensemble des vallées couserannaises et les splendides sommets dominés par le seigneur du Couseran: le mont Vallier.

(!) The trail can be overgrown, so be careful and make sure you are well equipped. The Volvestre Intercommunal Tourist Office offers a marked trail. The Roman road trail, with a slight incline, is accessible to families. Approximately four kilometres long, it starts and ends at the village square.

This is a beautiful hike (also accessible by mountain bike) that will allow you to discover magnificent panoramic views of the Comminges countryside and the Pyrenees mountain range. This route takes place on paved sections with very little traffic and on dirt or gravel paths along the edge of fields and forests, with even a ford to cross the Nère river.

A beautiful line hike, which requires you to leave a vehicle at the finish beforehand. From the village of Razecueillé, the route takes you directly to the Pic de Paloumère, offering magnificent views of the Piedmont to the north and the highest peaks to the south, east and west. The route to the finish is very varied: forestry paths, ridges, old paths that are a little forgotten and therefore poorly marked, beech forests frequented mainly by wild boar and roe deer.
