Top 10 Hiking Trails in Midi-Pyrénées, Occitanie

August 6, 2021 Merry Kessler

Stretching from the wooded Dordogne to the towering peaks of the Pyrenees, this vast region is a popular winter sports destination, but one without the hordes that besiege the Alps. Spring's melted snows lure kayakers and rafting enthusiasts. In summer, amateur and advanced hikers take to the hills.

Amazing place for a walk until Lac Gaube, about one hour walk plus 45min back. Amazing views. Not hard.

Randonnees au Depart de l'Hospice de France

Reviewed By VAGABOND0445 - Perpignan, France

This place is high up in the pyrenees. It is the most fantastic location and was once a refuge for various travelers centuries ago and again for World War II resistance fighters to go back and forwards between Spain and France. There is a Monument there in the honour of the fighters If you want to eat there you have to make a booking at least the day before as it is very popular. It is well worth the drive up the windy narrow road to the hospice. The walks are numerous and for all levels of experience and available time The scenery is magnificent - the high mountains rising up all around. Not to be missed by serious hikers and walkers. There are places to stay like the refuge huts but on inspection we found these to be very musty and mouldy smelling and therefore Not a good option for people with respiratory problems.

Chemin de Halage

Reviewed By albertv1527 - Utrecht, The Netherlands

Beautiful and lovely hike from Bouziès to Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. The whole hike is just below 4km, with a short but steep climb (400m distance with a 20% gradient) up to Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. The best known bit is the 500m stretch where you walk under/at the foot of the cliffs with the Lot river right beside you. The stones can be slippery when wet, as can others parts of the path (which can turn into slippery mudlike substance). Wear good hiking shoes.
