Vingrau walks
La Serre de Vingrau
This is a fairly challenging route to reach the peaks of the iconic Vingrau mountain, a climber's paradise and world-famous site. After an easy approach walk to Trauc del Cavall, the rest of the hike involves a radical change of terrain that requires caution and endurance. However, the magnificent views to the east and west are well worth the effort.
Vingrau - Circular around the Serra
A superb landscape with views of the Corbières and Roussillon. Best done when there is no wind. This is a circular route of 4 hours and the route is easy. There are a few steep sections. It is limestone rock from start to finish, so good footwear is recommended. From here, you can see Aguilar Castle, Opoul Castle, Canigou, the sea, the Corbières and Roussillon!
Around Tautavel
A getaway to the Catalan Corbières region, where you can discover Tautavel and its interesting heritage.
Circular des Bergeries in Paziols
This circular starting from Paziols will take you through heath and vineyards. The route starts at the village cemetery and then heads south. At the end of the trail, the climb up to the plateau will take you past sheepfolds and vineyards. The descent to the village is via footpaths and then roads.
The Tautavel Tower
This is an alternative way to the Tour de Tautavel from Cases-de-Pène. Advantage: sheltered from the tramontana wind. Disadvantage: sunny in summer.
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.
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.
Roc Rodon
A climb to Roc Rodon which, despite its modest altitude, offers exceptional views of the Pyrenees and the Corbières. After passing the Hermitage of Notre-Dame de Pène, a long ridge walk leads to the village of Calce. The route continues through the vineyards, leading to the Chapel of Sainte-Catherine before climbing back up to the ridge and returning to the starting point via a balcony path overlooking the Agly valley. A very varied and exotic route on the outskirts of Perpignan.
Pas de la Serre - Roc de la Capéliane - les Crabiés - Pas de la Goutine
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. *
Cami des Orris from Salses-le-Château
This walk has two attractions: first, the history of the fort, and second, the beautiful scenery (mountains, foothills of the Corbières, ponds and the Mediterranean Sea).
The ridge of the Serre du Grau de Maury
An exceptional hike, but:
- the 6 km ridge walk from Grau de Maury to La Quille.
- the route passes close to steep cliffs and includes a section of rock climbing, so it is strongly advised against for people who are prone to vertigo.
Only experienced hikers in good physical condition and accustomed to rocky terrain can complete this hike safely.
GPX track essential. Be prepared to turn back if necessary.
Sarrat de Germa and the old Montgaillard Mines
A hike in the heights of the Corbières, in a rather rugged natural environment where the hand of man is still visible. Beautiful views along the way, mining heritage, and a still-thriving wine industry.
Pic du Pied du Poul
Despite its modest altitude (596 m), the Pic du Pied du Poul is nonetheless an exceptional viewpoint offering a 360° panorama of the Mediterranean Sea, the lakes, the Corbières, the Aude plain and the Pyrenees. While the ascent does not pose any real problems, the second part is for hikers who are used to walking on stony ground where it can sometimes be very difficult to see where you are going.
To the foot of the Château de Quéribus from Cucugnan
From the village, a climb to the foot of the Château de Quéribus on well-marked paths.
See: practical information.
The descent is quite steep, after waypoint (5).
It's quite possible to do this circuit the other way round, and climb from waypoint (6) to (5).
Pic Aubeill
This circular route, marked in yellow, starts from the village of Belesta and climbs up to Pic d'Aubeil, then descends towards the sheepfold, the dolmen and finally the village.
In search of the boundary markers of 1258
Before the current border was established, Roussillon was officially part of Spain between 1258 and 1659.
Very few boundary markers from this original border remain.
The trail allows you to discover three of them, as well as a cave and an ice well; it also offers superb views of the Pyrenees and the Corbières.
Mile markers and Ravin de la Caussine
In the foothills of the Corbières, search for the ancient Roman roads and milestones left by the Romans themselves, and have fun deciphering what is written on them. Then stroll through the hills in search of the flora and fauna of these sun-scorched landscapes. Climb to higher ground and admire the view of the Étang de Leucate, watching the birds of prey in flight.
The Combes circular
Hike through vineyards, heath and pine trees. During this walk, we will pass around several combs, which inspired its name. We will take the famous Cathar Trail, which we will leave halfway down to descend towards Roquefort. At the highest point, we can admire Roquefort at the foot of its cliffs, as well as the coastline with the sea and the Sigean Lagoon.
