Campagne-sur-Aude walks

Nature trail along the Aude river and urban trail through the villages of Campagne-sur-Aude and Espéraza.

A hike from a pretty little village on the Sentier Cathare GR®367, the GR®36, and the GRP® Tour des Fenouillèdes.A sense of direction is required. The reward comes at the summit, with its 360° panorama.On the way back, a visit to a large and beautiful cave is very interesting.

Very nice circuit that will take you over grazing areas that are still used.The last part of the circuit overhangs the gorges of Galamus.

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).

Lake Cavayère is the place to visit in Carcassonne when the sun is out. The path around the lake is laid out clearly and is very easy to follow even with children (over ten years). The ever present lake provides a very pleasant setting.

You'll be amazed by the well-preserved state of the Visigoths' tombs found along the way. You can explore the cemetery, made up of fifteen or so graves, at the corner of a path in the middle of shrub land.

The village of Portè is a well-known holiday destination in the Alta Cerdanya. Many routes are available in its surroundings, hiking the mountains or connecting the nearby lakes. This is probably the most classical one, visiting the Font Viva lake, under the shadows of the Carlit peak (2921 m.). There, you may find many water sources and falls, pines and flowers, wild and domestic animals.
