プラネスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Very nice hike in winter; have 'snow' equipment for winter

Pretty little stone hut that can be used for shelter.

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.

Beautiful loop from the Eyne ski resort

Planès is a charming little village organized into four hamlets facing each other on different hillsides. The town is ideally located on the GR 10 and offers hikers various accommodations (camping and lodges). It is also a superb landmark for observing wildlife, surprising a few marmots, listening to the call of the deer or watching hordes of chamois running. Many hiking trails leave from the village.

The Pla des Cedelles is a magnificent high-altitude pasture which offers superb views of the surrounding mountains. An essential passage to climb towards the Mitjà pass.

Interesting fortress, the upper part is still a restricted area. Of course by the fortress builder Vauban. More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont-Louis?wprov=sfla1
