Col Palomere

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Small and quiet street, the climb to the Col is easy and rather long. It mostly goes through sparse mountain forest and there is always a view.

Culminating at 752 meters, the Col Xatard offers an ascent of about 21 km from Amélie-les-Bains, through the charming villages of Taulis and Saint-Marsal, before rewarding the effort with a splendid panorama of the Canigou massif and the Batère tower.

Lake Vinça

Highlight • Lake

Be careful to avoid the main road on which there is a lot of traffic.

Otherwise, the landscape is perfect, the lake extends on both sides of the road.
