Venerque walks

A walk with two faces: the first part is "aerial", on the right bank, from Vénerque to Clermont-le-Fort, with elevation changes and endless views, along paths that are rarely used (except by trail runners); the second part, on the left bank, is completely "easy-going", winding between the lake, riverbanks and peaceful neighbourhoods of Le Vernet.

A very varied hike, combining bucolic trails along the Ariège and aerial passages on the cliffs. Very little tarmac, lots of trails, beautiful views of the plains and the Pyrenees. The hike ends with a visit to the charming village of Clermont-le-Fort.

This hike, which crosses varied landscapes, offers beautiful views of the Ariège valley. It leads along a path through the woods to the Notre-Dame-des-Bois oratory, a reminder of the discovery of a wooden statue of the Virgin and Child, which can be seen in the church of Clermont-le-Fort.

This hike is based on the route published by SICOVAL "Circular walk from Notre-Dame des Bois", which I modified at the end.

This walk will take you past the stately castle of Issus, then up the hillsides where you can admire the Lauragais countryside with an exceptional view of the Pyrenees. The route ends with a leap into modernity with the satellite dishes of a Telecom station.

A circuit in the heart of nature, taking paths through fields, undergrowth and a little on tarmac in the village itself. Route modified on 21/04/2023.

A route starting from Corronsac in the 'long' version, with magnificent landscapes on ridge paths and some beautiful trails in the Lauragais.

Crossed by the famous Way of St James, the village of Rebigue offers walkers the chance to discover, among other things, the Fount Grando fountain, the church dedicated to Saint Lizier and the orientation table with a magnificent panorama of the Pyrenees on a clear day.

From the abbey to the orientation table and the Chapel of Saint-Amans, discover Eaunes in a different way.

On the outskirts of Toulouse, climb up to admire the Pyrenees and the hillsides, then return to the cool shade of the Goyrans forest along the Ariège river.

Just outside Toulouse, this is a short, invigorating circuit. There is a bit of tarmac when crossing Castanet (1.3 km), but the rest is made up of paths and beautiful trails. The countryside is just a few kilometres from Toulouse. Avoid this circuit after heavy rain as some sections will be difficult to navigate.

Circuit in the suburbs of Toulouse on routes mapped out by Sicoaval. It will take you through fields and woods to discover the colourful, rolling landscapes of the Lauragais region via well-maintained paths and trails. ClearPR® signposting. The route includes muddy sections in winter (this is the Lauragais region) and a few steep climbs.

A pleasant circular starting from the centre of Castanet-Tolosan, which partly follows the GR®653, the route from Arles to Compostela, and allows you to discover the peace and nature of the Lauragais hills. In good weather, the view of the Pyrenees from the Rebigue orientation table is magnificent. Beautiful views of the countryside and Toulouse at the end of the route.There is little tarmac outside the urban area at the start and finish.There is a variant (7) which shortens the hike by 3 km (10.5 km, 3 hours): see description in the Practical Information section

The circuit includes a few short tarmac sections but also many paths, greenery and beautiful landscapes; a surprising circuit so close to Toulouse.

In a small corner near Toulouse is a lake where many birds live and where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Why not spend an afternoon discovering it?
