ロクフイユの峡谷・トップ5

Here the path through the gorges starts, the first km is still easy, after the fallen trees the rough part begins, from then on you enjoy it better by walking there.

Among the 8 gorges that I crossed in the Pyrenees, they are my favorites after those of Joucou.

The gorge is gorgeous indeed! I was there in August. Not a drop of water. Would like to go back a different season. Descent was partially overgrown and hard to find. No views there.

Over a length of three kilometres, the Èrç river has sculpted the rocks over thousands of years, creating a deep gorge that reaches between 300 and 400 metres deep. A place where the power of nature and the traces of erosion are clearly visible. The Gorges de la Frau are not only an impressive natural phenomenon, but also a witness to history. For centuries, they served as a natural passage between the Pyrenean valleys and thus tell stories of trade, travel and discovery. Today, this gorge is a central point of the Grand Traversée Ariège Pyrénées (GTAP) VTT, a mountain bike trail that makes the hearts of all adventurers beat faster. But whether you are on foot or on two wheels, the view of this narrow and steep gorge is breathtaking. It's almost like entering another world, where the rocks form the walls of an ancient castle and every stone, every tree, every curve has a story to tell. And although photos try to capture its beauty, they simply cannot do justice to the majestic atmosphere of the Gorges de la Frau. It is a place to be experienced, felt and breathed - an unforgettable natural wonder not to be missed on your trip through the Pyrenees.

The Rébenty gorges offer a magnificent stretch along the stream of the same name. The Rébenty has its source at the Col du Pradel before winding through a canyon which separates the Sault plateau in two.

Gorges de la Frau is a narrow canyon that stretches for three kilometres. This protected natural area was formed by the erosion of the Èrç river on the rock. The canyon is between 300 and 400 metres deep and has been a passageway between the Pyrenean valleys for centuries.

If you are in Quillian and you decide to reach the Sault plateau very gently ...

A nice route alongside the river Rebenty. I experienced a strong wind throughout the whole route through the gorges towards Axat.
