Take your time and respect the two-person-at-a-time rule.

These dizzying gorges are the starting point for hikes to the lake of the same name. The gorges can be explored on foot, via walkways and ledges dug in 1943 to serve the construction site during the drilling of the tunnel that collected water from the Carança River for the Thuès hydroelectric power plant.

Going up the village to the antennas allows you to have a breathtaking view of the upper Têt valley. The eastern end of the Perche plateau, which carries Mont-Louis, La Cabanasse, Saint-Pierre and Planès, is dissected by the Têt and its tributaries. The landscape changes radically in a few hundred meters, the valley steepening by 500m. This topographic break point in the profile of a watercourse is called a *knick point*. It marks the place where regressive erosion has reached today following the global uplift that the region has been undergoing for around 10 Ma.

The path leaving the village offers a last view of the Cerdan landscape and the Perche plateau before heading towards the mountainous landscapes of the Orri valley. This final glance is an opportunity to visualize the layout of the three generations of flattening: the Carlit and Campcardos plateaus, the Carlit ponds and the Perche and Quillane plateaus. We can also see the imprint that the ice has left on the landscape. The tongue of ice which descended the Têt valley barely 25,000 years ago tore up, transported and deposited approximately 50 m of blocks which today form the magnificent frontal moraine of Mont-Louis and which is highlighted by the forest.

Breathtaking gorge, great parking 5 euros, just follow komoot for the most beautiful route, fear of heights? Do not look into the depths, but especially where you put your feet. If you are Dutch tall, then also pay attention to the rocky points at head height. What a great trip😀

When the path joins the river and next to a small dam, we connect with the path that comes from the ledge. Here begins the most exciting part of the excursion! Ahead of us are ten bridges, numbered in yellow paint, as well as walkways built with metal panels from which we see the river slide between the rocks beneath our feet. All steps are aerial but well secured with cables and railings. Of course: we have to pay special attention if we go with children. This area, in addition to being a real adventure, is ideal for contemplating the small waterfalls from the front row and listening to the murmurs of the river. Here you can enjoy the grandeur of an overflowing nature… After the bridge marked with a 10, the path widens and we pass over a small stone bridge that crosses the Roig stream, a tributary of the Tet river. We pass a stone hut without a roof and arrive at the last footbridge, located at a point where the river is enclosed by a rock wall. At this point, most walkers turn around and those who continue do so thinking of reaching the refuge of the Ras de Carançà, still far away. The last time I did this stretch (see excursion: https://www.komoot.com/es-es/tour/994475321/ ) it was just the other way around, coming from the refuge of Ras de Carançà.
