Wonderful ! real sensations of altitude. Loop path. Departure from the Albère town hall. It climbs strong, mostly in the shade. Little by little, sumptuous panoramas offer themselves to the gaze. The summit is more mineral. Both the ascent and the descent are no problem for people prone to vertigo like me. A little practice, take your time not to get into the red, have good feet with sometimes unstable stones and slippery leaves on the descent. Sticks seem essential to me. A trail not to be missed in good weather.

In the snow very difficult to find the way but at the top a wonderful view

Nice and shaded hike on 2/3 from a departure of the pass perfect for a family outing. The point of view is splendid canigou on one side, sea on the other. The rocky and alpine summit contrasts with the more forested approach.
