Hiking

The passages along the Corniche de Carança are quite dizzying and spectacular. Attention therefore for those who have vertigo or with children.

Hiking

Breathtaking gorge, great parking 5 euros, just follow komoot for the most beautiful route, fear of heights? Do not look into the depths, but especially where you put your feet. If you are Dutch tall, then also pay attention to the rocky points at head height. What a great trip😀

Hiking

In the summer of 2019, the Corniche is unfortunately closed due to construction. If necessary, you have to walk the other way back and forth.

The Gorges de la Carança route, starting in Thuès-Entre-Valls, plunges you into a dramatic landscape of grey and ochre cliffs, where the Carança river has carved out a stunning canyon. The trail leads you through dense forests and surprises you with equipped sections, including suspension bridges and metal walkways clinging to the rock, offering dizzying views and a constant sense of adventure. It's a moderate 7.2-kilometer (4.5-mile) hike with 332 meters (1088 feet) of elevation gain, taking approximately 2 hours and 24 minutes to complete, ideal for hikers with good balance and no fear of heights.

To plan your visit, be aware that parking in Thuès-Entre-Valls can fill up quickly, so it's advisable to arrive early. If you prefer public transport, the Tren Amarillo will drop you at Thuès-La Carança station, a short distance from the start. It's crucial to wear appropriate footwear and be prepared for exposed sections; this route is not suitable for dogs and is not recommended for people with vertigo.

What truly sets this route apart are its "equipped sections," known as "Le Sentier du Vertige," which include ledges carved into the rock and vertical ladders that elevate you above the torrent. These structures, originally created for a hydroelectric plant, transform a simple hike into an exciting and unique experience in the Parc naturel régional des Pyrénées Catalanes. It is one of the most remarkable routes in the area for its combination of natural beauty and adventure.
