A 15km climb from the west, from river to forest and with stunning views across to Roquefixade, followed by a fast and very windy descent into the start of the climb to Montsegur or back to Lavelanet.
Located at an altitude of 797 meters, the Col de Porte-Pa offers a beautiful view of the Foix valley as well as the high Pyrenean peaks. The hike that leads there is quite accessible for all hiker profiles.
