The cross-border hike

Embark on the conquest of this long hike of nearly 30km and 2000m of elevation gain.


From the Valmy parking lot, retrace your steps and turn left towards "Camping des Mimosas."
Pass the campsite and Mas Blanc, then begin the ascent on the DFCI-AL trail No. 39.
At the intersection of the two trails, turn right onto the DFCI-AL trail No. 28, passing by the cistern.
Take the trail on the left that ascends into the cork oak forest.
At this junction, take the right path that leads to Roc del Grill.
At Roc del Grill, descend towards Lavail.
Take the trail on the right that follows the "La Massana" river and Lavail gorges. Cross the hamlet via the road to Saint André.
Before the bridge, turn left and ascend into the forest.
Points of interest: "Roc de les Medes," a large rocky block, and "Font del Miracles" at the base of a massive beech tree. Then, reach the Col de l'Aranyo.
From Col de l'Aranyo, head towards Col des Trois Hêtres and Pic des Quatre Termes.
GR10 milestone. From Pic des Quatre Termes (1158m), proceed to Pic de la Carbassera (1000m) and Pic Sailfort (978m).
From Sailfort, continue along the GR10, offering an unobstructed view of both Catalonias.
Turn right, following the route of water catchments from Font d'en Vergès and Font d'en Cassanyes.
At Col de Verderol (776m), traverse the beech forest.
At this intersection, turn right, then left onto the DFCI AL41ter trail.
Cross the trail and descend the path to discover the Dolmen del Collets de Colliure and the Domen de la Cova de l'Alarb.
Turn left onto DFCI AL42 and take the small trail parallel to Valmy, which rejoins the trail and returns to the starting point.
