ACTIVITIES AROUND LES CORTALS

The Eastern Pyrénées, where our borda Cal Kali (traditional house of the area) is located, will be the starting point of our exploration of this mountain range plunging into the Mediterranean sea.

You will experience those few days surrounded by several natural reserves: the Bouillouses lakes (located only 15 minutes away from the house), the lagoons of Camporells, the valley of Eyne or the gorges of the Carança.

The area also boasts some emblematic summits such as Carlit, Peric or Canigo reaching nearly 3 000 meters high.

All those assets make this region an ideal place to practice a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, mountain biking, trail running, canyoning…

Our program combines several of these activities. But they can also be modified and customized according to the wishes of the group.

We offer you the following base for the program:

• • 2 days of trekking around the most renowned mountains and valleys of the region such as Carlit, Canigo and the Bouillouses lakes (average daily vertical gain of 1 000 meters).
  • 2 days of canyoning, especially in the famous gorges of the Llech. Wetsuits and all the necessary equipment for practicing canyoning are included.
  • 1 day of mountain biking, with the possibility to ride down to Olette and come back aboard the well-known Train Jaune.
  • If you wish, we can organize bike rental for you (whether classic mountain bikes or e-bikes).

All the activities will be led by an expert guide in the field.

The program can be completed by visits to local farms, cellars and restaurants, horseback riding and cultural outings to emblematic sites such as the fortified towns of Mont-Louis and Villefranche-de-Conflent.
