The day begins along a familiar path. It's the same one you took on the previous leg, at the end of the day. You'll have to retrace your steps for a few kilometers. Take the opportunity to visit the abandoned village of Peguera if you didn't do so the day before.
You'll then walk along a summit ridge

This stage, starting from Roquefixade, follows a summit ridge. The route allows for a spectacular approach to Montségur Castle, which you'll reach at the end of the day.
To get there, you'll have to take a slight detour via a substantial climb. It's well worth the effort. A visit to these ruins is a must

This short stage of just over ten kilometers overlooks the Upper Ariège Valley. You're close to Ax-les-Thermes and a stone's throw from the Orlu Wildlife Reserve, itself located in the heart of the high Pyrenean mountains.
