クーフランの天然記念物・トップ20

An emblematic pass in the Couserans, popular with cycle tourists and hikers, it offers a superb panorama of the mountains and valleys.

The area is simply a joy

The Nerech waterfall is one of the most powerful in the Pyrenees. It flows into the heart of Couserans (vast territory combining high mountains, mountains and foothills, and covered areas). It is home to rich biodiversity. Among the species most observed here, there is a very wide variety of wild orchids.

The Perosa bridge gives us an incredible view of the Alto Pyrenees natural park once we cross the La Noguera river. You won't forget that easily.

The path goes through a beautiful horsetail of singing waters and goes up to the outlet of the Romedo de Baix pond, which is raised with a stone wall to increase the capacity of the reservoir. Admirers of glacial modeling in high mountains can take advantage of and visit the cirques of the Guiló ponds. The route crosses the dam and follows the access lane for about two hundred metres, until a sharp curve where there is a small hut and markings for the mountain routes. The mountain crossing leaves the track and continues straight ahead along the shore of the lake, which offers a spectacular view on this slope. The trail has red and green paint dots and red and white chevrons. On a small rocky outcrop there is a rope for a channel to facilitate climbing. On the opposite side, the rope has disappeared, only the pegs remain, but it is lowered without complications. The path is well marked with the colors of the paths through an impeccable glacial valley to the shore of the Romedo de Dalt pond, completely natural, without artificial dams and a beautiful island decorating the mountain lagoon. In the same glacial basin are the Senó, Colatx and Punturri ponds. The red and white marks go up to the left of the Romedo de Dalt pond to the gap in the Sierra de Llurri, a spectacular pass between the peaks of the mountains of the Alto Pirineo Natural Park. The trail looks for the right descent to go down between the dizzying spurs of Llurri and connect with the path that goes up to the Certascán pond.

Located in the Couserans massif, at an altitude of 1458 m, the Guzet pond is bordered by vegetation, which makes the place all the more idyllic.

The Col de la Core, at 1,395 meters above sea level, is part of both the pass route and the GR10 which cross the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.

Magnificent waterfall on the Valier route (for the more athletic).
