Salses-le-Château walks
Cami des Orris from Salses-le-Château
A walk with two main attractions: firstly, the history of the fort, and secondly, the chance to discover the surrounding landscapes (mountains, the foothills of the Corbières, lakes and the Mediterranean Sea).
Salvaterra Castle from Opoul
A fairly short circular route allowing you to climb from Opoul to Salveterra Castle, which dominates the landscape, then descend via the Col de la Sabine. This can be done as a stopover on a journey to Spain, as it is not far from the A6 motorway junction – La Catalane (Rivesaltes).
Circular of Périllos
This hike in the Corbières offers a variety of pleasures. Nature lovers will appreciate the typical landscape of the region, divided between heath, vineyards and pine trees, not to mention the karstic cave of the Caune, which offers a cool and pleasant break during the summer heat. For those who prefer history and old stones, the Santa Barbarà Chapel, the abandoned village of Périllos and the ruins of Opoul Castle are excellent places to stop.
The tour of the cortals, serres, plats and coumes from Fitou
This easy loop passes through various places called cortal, serre, plat or coume. In the middle of the heath with its holm oaks, box trees, rosemary and junipers, you can admire splendid views of the Étang de Leucate, as well as primitive stone constructions called drystone shelters, a legacy of medieval pastoralism.
The capitelles path from Fitou
Numerous restored capitelles (drystone shelters) and panoramic views over the Etang de Leucate and the coast.
The heights of Montpins
A short hike offering a number of advantages. It features varied terrain, with two-thirds of the route covered by woodland, combining a Provençal atmosphere, the chic neighbourhood of Montpins with its beautiful mansions, and a forest setting.
Breathtaking views of almost the entire department in a single glance along wide paths that allow you to chat side-by-side with others whilst hiking.
The route is neither difficult nor technical, but there are a few steep sections.
Opoul Cave (climbing route) – round trip
Path leading to Opoul Karstic Cave, also known as La Cauna. This karstic cave features climbing routes situated inside the cave itself.
The speed camera in Périllos
Loop hike to reach the Montoulieu-Perillos weather radar. From the village of Perillos (abandoned village), easy hike on a stony path (emergency access) (beware, no shade) to the radar, but the descent is more difficult.
You can park near the Sainte Barbe chapel (point 11) to avoid having to climb back up to the village at the end of the hike, but the village is also well worth a visit.
Dosses Nature Reserve

Walk around Feuilla
An easy circular route around the small village of Feuilla. Surrounded by vineyards, this village is dominated by an old mill called Moulin de Calé. In the heart of the Corbières Maritimes, you can admire its valleys, now abandoned to nature. A few isolated farms in the middle of the heath, around which horses frolic.
Pastoral loop of Caves
Walk along the hillsides of the picturesque village of Caves, which takes its name from its wine-growing past. Through the heathland, among holm oaks, rosemary and frigoules, numerous dry stone walls and old sheepfolds bear witness to a pastoral presence that has now disappeared. During the climb, on a clear day, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline from La Palme to Barcarès.
