Sentenac-de-Sérou walks

An aerial loop with numerous panoramic views, in the heart of a magnificent beech forest, with a summit offering an exceptional panorama! Come and see the "blue mountains" at the end of a sunny morning.

A pleasant walk through the woods via the Chapelle Joseph, an excellent picnic spot with views of the Pyrenees

This short hike will allow you to see the Lafont Tower and enjoy a superb 360° view from the summit of Cap de Campets.

Between farmland and virgin forest, discover the ruins of the Château de Saint-Barthélémy, which overlooks the authentic villages of Durban-sur-Arize and Montseron on the Plantaurel massif. You will admire the most peaceful landscapes: views of the Pyrenees, emerald forests worthy of the greatest fantasy films, and hills stretching as far as the eye can see.

This signposted walk in the Massif de l’Arize is well worth exploring. The Roc de Peyre Caussile (1,339 m) and the Cap de Campets (1,504 m) are two peaks linked to the pastoral history of the Couserans and the ancient paths connecting the valleys. On this heavily wooded route, you’ll enjoy views of Massat, the Séronais, the Arize and, on a clear day, as far as the Toulouse plains, the Corbières and the Aude. At Cap de Campets, the 360° view is magnificent, stretching from Cap Carmil to Mont Valier and taking in the entire Couserans massif. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all those who, year after year, maintain these paths with such passion – whether they are local authority staff, enthusiasts or hunters.

A walk through woods and meadows, passing through small hamlets. A GPS is essential as the route follows paths not shown on IGN maps.

Circular in the Alzen National Forest, starting from Sahuc, passing by the Sainte-Croix Chapel and the Col de l'Homme. Cross beautiful forests to reach the Alzen plateau and its many hamlets and farms.

After a steady climb through the forest, the Cabane de la Devèze offers a welcome rest stop before tackling the last demanding section leading to the ridge. The path along this vast ridge offers exceptional views of the Haute Ariège as well as the sites of Foix and Tarascon-sur-Ariège. After the Picou, the return journey is via the Route Forestière du Calmil, where you can rest from the efforts of the climb while admiring the magnificent trees that populate it.

A beautiful hike with lovely views of the town of Foix and its castle, as well as the Pyrenees mountain range. A very quiet hike, with unspoilt nature, shaded sections in the forest and sections exposed to the sun.

A pleasant, easy hike from the Col de Port, in a magnificent setting combining forest, stream, picnic area and views of the Pyrenees. Not very busy except at the pass.

A lovely walk starting from the Col de Port, with stunning views of the Pyrenees range: Mont Fourcat, Saint-Barthélémy, Montcalm, Pic d’Estats, Trois Seigneurs, Mont Vallier and, on a clear day, sometimes the Pic du Midi de Bigorre. The walk can be halved by turning back at the Pic de Razels.

A short, easy Sunday hike (500 m elevation gain) leading to Pic de Razels (1,600 m) with a magnificent 360° view. After a winding climb, you reach the ridge, which you follow to the left through a pretty wood to the peak. Lovely views all along the way.

The Pic de la Journalade, visible from afar due to its jagged contours, is reserved for fit and experienced walkers. The first section is very accessible. The second section, between points (3) and (4), involves a lot of scrambling to cross three very steep rocky outcrops, requiring you to use your hands and stow away your walking sticks. The final ascent to the Journalade is very steep but not dangerous. The descent is tricky as there is no path and there are many hazards: a slippery slope and rocky outcrops to negotiate before reaching a proper path.

This is a beautiful hike accessible from the Col de Port, offering magnificent views of the Pyrenees mountain range, from Saint-Barthélémy in the east to Mont Valier and beyond in the west. After a fairly short climb to Pic d'Estibat, the hardest part is over, as the rest of the route continues in a circular fashion along a beautiful ridge before descending through woods and returning on the north side via a pretty valley past the Estibat hut. Please take note of the comments in the practical information section.

A peaceful walk through a small village, between fields, woods and village paths, easily accessible from the greenway. A circular route with easy parking in front of the village school/town hall.

A snowshoe walk in the Col du Port area. This route provides easy access to the base of the Griets summit, making it suitable for children. More experienced hikers can continue on to the Pic d’Estibat.
