The Hiking Guide - Eastern Pyrenees: Canigou, Cerdagne, Capcir, Vallespir, Conflent, Cap Creus | Rando Editions

Around fifty mountain routes to explore the Cerdanya plateaus, Capcir, and the Canigou massif, extending as far as Cap Creus, the easternmost tip of the Pyrenees.

From the heights of Vallespir (Roc de Frausa) to the major peaks of the Cerdanya and Capcir highlands (Tossa Plana de Lles, Carlit, Péric), passing by the legendary Canigou (three access points and the tour in 4 days), the steep slopes of Costabonne at the bottom of Vallespir, and the impressive From Pedraforca, through the spectacular Carança Gorges leading to the Pic de l'Enfer, across the immense Lake Lanoux, and ending at Cap Creus, this guide invites you to discover the eastern and sunny Pyrenees on foot in nearly fifty destinations.

You'll travel from the rhododendron massifs surrounding a myriad of lakes in the Bouillouses region to the Madres peat bogs. In a two-day loop, you can visit the Nuria Sanctuary, venture serenely into the heart of the summer pastures of the Cadi-Moixero Natural Park, or take a short trip from Ariège to the peaks of Mortiers and Terrers. With their airy atmosphere, rich flora, and shimmering waters, you'll truly experience the Catalan mountains.
