Setcases walks

A beautiful hike between Spain and France from Plat d'Hospitalet to the Mariailles Refuge at the foot of Canigou. The route is varied with splendid views when crossing the mountain passes.

Day three between Mantet and Mariailles.

Another way to climb Roc Colom.A good path leads to Jaça del Callau. Then you have to climb up to Portella del Callau, where a path leads up to Roca Colom. From Mort de l'Escolà, a good cairned path leads down to Coll de Mentet, where the GR® 10 takes you back to the hamlet of Mantet. The GPX track and a sense of direction are essential.

Circular hike from Mantet with the climb to the border and then towards Roc Colom.From Mantet, the climb via theGR®® to the Refuge de l'Almany is not difficult.The only difficulty is the steep climb to Portella de Mantet. Your efforts will be rewarded when you reach the top.Then the path to Pla de Segala is easy and beautiful with magnificent 360° views.The hike may be classified as very difficult by some due to its length and duration.

Deuxième étape du circuit catalan pour rejoindre le village de Mantet.

Another way to climb this Catalan peak situated on the France–Spain border. Please take the following points into careful consideration. A challenging hike due to its significant elevation gain and steep ascents and descents. This hike should not be attempted in fog or mist. (¹) Turn back if the weather changes. This peak is notorious for this weather phenomenon. Set off very early in summer. (²)

Very beautiful (difficult) climb through the forest from Veïnat de la Farga to the large Coll Pregon. This border grazing area is still in use. Then a beautiful ridge line with a few bumps towards Costabona. But you will need to turn off well before this into the forest at Coll de Siern. The passage through the grazing area of Cabanes de l'Ullat is very beautiful. The return is then through the forest.

A very pretty circular path, well signposted and mostly shaded. Can be done in either direction. In the direction described, a lunch break can be planned at the Refuge des Conques. After the footbridge (2), the climb that follows is steady and continues through a magnificent beech forest. Water supply (7) at the edge of the forest, just before the huts. The Tech pass can be difficult, depending on the season. Then cross another beech forest, which is just as pretty. From Coll Baix (12), you can take the GRP® directly and reach the Roca Rodona fork. Shorter version of La Preste - Jasse de l'Ullat - Las Conques - Collada de la Solana (!) Please note the GRP® detour. 25 July 2025. From(17) to (S/E). Detour (risk of falling rocks) La Preste

A walk in the heart of the Prats-de-Mollo Nature Reserve – La Preste at the foot of Costabonne.The route follows connecting paths between the grazing areas on this mountain.Option to shorten the walk depending on the time available. ⚠️ Please note: GRP® diversion. 25 July 2025 => from(14) to (S/E). Temporary diversion via the Ronde du Canigou at ‘La Preste’

This hike requires a good sense of direction. There are numerous forks in the path and the markings are sparse or old. The route from (6) to (7) is not easy due to numerous fallen trees on the path. The GPX track is therefore necessary to confirm your position. Mostly shaded, this hike can be considered in summer, except in very hot weather.You can avoid following the trail between (6) and (7) by taking the track, then following the yellow and white markings on the left for 100 m until you reach (7).If necessary, two escape routes (7) and (10) allow you to quickly return to La Preste. Elevation gain is close to 900 m. Allow 6 hours including breaks.

We really enjoyed this round-trip snowshoe hike, made possible by exceptional snow cover and, above all, the fresh snow that had fallen the previous day. Starting via the track makes for an easier start to the hike, allowing you to warm up rather than immediately taking the GR® 177, which climbs quite steeply through the woods. Leaving the track, the path climbs a little further to join the GRP® and begins a slightly steeper ascent to reach Pla Segalà, the day’s destination.

A lovely circular route starting from the Col de Mantet and passing through Pla Segalà. Apart from a few animal tracks, pristine white snow is guaranteed throughout the route.

A round-trip hike to Roc Colom (2,507 m), the Cabane de Rotjà and the Porteilla de Rotjà (2,377 m). As soon as you reach Pla de Segala (2), the landscape opens up to offer 360° views.This hike should be avoided in bad weather, especially in fog, unless you have the GPX track. Once you emerge from the forest, the route is exposed and open to the elements. Appropriate kit is essential in all seasons. *

First stage of the: Loop from the Refuge des Conques to the Refuge de Mariailles Mountain hike with beautiful scenery, particularly from Coll de Bise to Collada de la Roqueta. Classified as difficult: exposed, steep slopes in places. See practical information. Allow 6 hours of sustained walking.

A very lovely walk in Vallespir, on a signposted path, but one that is rarely used, allowing you to spot chamois and marmots. See the ‘Practical Information’ section regarding the crossing of the Tech at the Ouillat huts ¹.

A fairly long hike, mostly on open terrain. Plenty of 360° views.Passes by watering holes, mountain passes, stone-paved paths, stone huts and a refuge.Trails at the start and finish of this beautiful hike.Please note: Nature Reserve. Specific regulations apply.Avoid this hike during heatwaves and when there is heavy snow.Classified as difficult as a basic sense of direction is required.Warning: the Pla Guillem area is very hazardous in foggy conditions and it is often very cold there. The GPX track is essential: the weather changes very quickly.Outside the summer season, when the barrier is raised at the Forquets car park: you can start at (1). This saves 3 km on the return journey.

This is a magnificent hike in the hills above Fontpédrouse (66) and more specifically in Prats-Balaguer (a hamlet of the latter) where you will find a haven of peace from start to finish. You will discover one of the most beautiful valleys in the Pyrénées-Orientales, namely the beautiful Vallée de l'Orri.

A lovely walk to the famous and distinctive Col Mitjà, visible from many points in Cerdagne and even from Capcir. A significant elevation gain (1,000 m) but no particular difficulty. The route partly follows the GR®10. There is also a forest track leading up to it, for those who prefer not to tackle too steep a climb, or for a mountain bike or horse ride. From Col Mitjà, the more adventurous can climb Pic Gallinàs (2,624 m) or Puig Rodon (2,677 m), which surround it.

Ascent to the Canigou massif from the west. Depart from the Mariailles refuge, following theGR®10to the Cortalets refuge. The next day, climb the peak then descend via the chimney and return via Pla de Cady to the Arago Refuge, before joining theGR®10and returning to Mariailles.

This stage is the first part of a two-day circular around the Canigou Massif. This first stage takes you around the peak to the west, from the Mariailles Refuge to the Cortalets Refuge, via the Bonne Aigue Refuge. It's a good warm-up before the next day's climb.
