Verdouble (rivière) walks

A getaway to the Catalan Corbières region, where you can discover Tautavel and its interesting heritage.

From Padern, climb up to the castle, cross the Pas de Massac and the Pas de la Serre.Then there is a superb passage along the ridge to reach the Roc de la Capéliane. Next, follow the tracks, with beautiful scenery, to descend to a discreet path that climbs back up along the Ruisseau de Grazels. Back at the crossroads of the two loops, cross the Pas de la Goutine to return to the village.This circuit may be considered quite difficult by some people.The GPX track is necessary at various points to confirm your position, particularly at (12) and (13).It is possible to do only part of this circuit. *

A very pleasant circular route connecting two villages in the Aude department. From Paziols, a ridge trail leads to the Col de la Heath. Then, crossing the Pas de la Serre allows you to switch to the other side of the mountain and reach Padern. Then the Chemin Cathare (GR®367), almost like a balcony, allows you to enjoy this wine-growing landscape. All that remains is to continue along a track through beautiful countryside to reach Paziols. Elevation gain closer to 500 m.

A varied hike starting from Paziols: heath, small wild and forgotten valleys, wide balcony trails offering magnificent panoramic views of the Corbières and the Pyrenees. A short section of challenging but safe terrain adds spice to this hike, which can be rounded off with a tasting of the renowned local wines.

A 16 km loop that passes under the walls of Peyrepertuse Castle, with views of Quéribus Castle and the Quille Massif. Most of the hike is in the woods. Finally, the Verdouble Gorges with their pools and waterfalls offer a refreshing and relaxing break.
