You enjoy nature, you love it, take care of it... You are taking a hiking trail along which regular household waste collection points are available to you. Out of respect for this exceptional space used each month by several tens of thousands of hikers and walkers, we invite you to drop off all your waste (glass, paper, leftover food, etc.) and those that you could unfortunately discover during your walk. Thanks to these simple but essential gestures, let's keep this site clean, as nature has graciously offered it to us.

From the Tourist Office, turn left into Rue de la Caserne towards the bridge, then continue straight ahead.

Cross the footbridge and join the tarmac road. At Christ, go around the statue to the left and continue on the road towards Notre-Dame-du-Château.

At the intersection, continue in the direction of Notre-Dame-du-Château and begin the ascent via the DFCI-AL33 track.
At the sign, leave the track to join the path on the right. It is also possible to reach Notre-Dame-du-Château by the track (1,6 km extra).

When the path rejoins the paved road, turn left and continue the ascent to the Hermitage. From Notre-Dame-du-Château, take the path at the end of the paved road to reach the ruins of the Château d'Ultrera. Be careful, the last meters of the ascent are steeper. Be careful in case of wind.

Go back down to Notre-Dame-du-Château and take the DFCI track in the direction of Mas del Ca. Continue the winding track which offers you a panorama of the Happy Valley and the Pic Néoulous. Pass the barrier and close it after passing.

Take the paved road to the right. Leave the first bridge and continue down. Cross the next bridge and continue for a hundred meters to the animal park "The Valley of the Turtles". On the right, take the path below parallel to the road and enter the Mas del Ca clearing.

Below the clearing, behind the picnic tables, find a path that runs alongside a canal. Take it going left towards Sorède and at the crossroads turn right and go down the path.
Continue through the woods to arrive at the entrance to the housing estate.
At the exit of the housing estate, take the path on the right, crossing the river.

Retrace your steps to the Tourist Office. After heavy rain, passage can be tricky. Then take rue du Moulin Cassanyes.
