Departing from Mantet, the small climb which leads to the Col gets your legs going. This short stop is an opportunity to look south at the glacial forms that characterize the valleys. Beautiful U-shaped valleys, wide and rounded which begin at altitude with cirques with steep edges.
From the pass, we

From the deeply incised gorges of the Cadi to the spectacular high surfaces of Pla Guillem, the Fossé du Conflent and the mountains that surround it are a summary of the geological history of the Pyrenees. From Vernet, many routes offer the possibility of going back in time. The path returns here, as

Just after Escaro, the path escapes between the Salzmann pines which separate us from the village of Sahorre. In the forest we come across the remains of mining which began in Antiquity and which ended in the valley in the 1980s.
Initially, iron was exploited. The entire Canigó massif is known for its

Passing from the Têt valley to the Castellane valley via the Vallenso plateau is an opportunity to linger on a new generation of erosion surface, lower in altitude and more recent. This layering between an upper surface and a lower surface is visible regionally as far as the folded terrains of Corbi

The path between Ras de la Carança and Col del Pal winds between shapes inherited from the last ice age. A first pla, that of Bassibés, offers a respite after a brief climb which gets your legs going. This flat surface which seems to close the valley was built by the waters - which we nevertheless cross

We are now leaving civilization for a few days to discover the mountainous part of the trail. A first coast offers remarkable views of the way in which erosion caused by the Têt and its tributaries has dissected the Perche plateau. This topographic break shows the point where this erosion, which gradually

The path that leads to Planès from Err closely follows the route of a geological object particularly visible in the landscape of the Park: the Têt fault. This break in the earth's crust recently played a role following the formation of the Pyrenees during the meeting between the Iberian plate and the

Leaving the village of Enveitg takes us to cross the Cerdagne collapse ditch. Framed by the Puigmal massif to the south and the Carlit and Campcardos massif to the north, its remarkable flatness, extended between France and Spain, is today exploited for livestock and cereal cultivation. This high plain

The Roca Gelera plateau, which we cross between Molitg and Sournia, is associated with the same generation of flattening as that of Vallenso.
The landscape here is marked by the alteration of the granite. This grainy rock is sensitive to the chemical alteration undergone by some of its minerals in contact
