 REGIONAL PARK PYRENEES CATALANES

With the Pic du Canigou as its emblem, and the Lac des Bouilleuses as its standard, this territory, the easternmost part of the Pyrenean chain, has both mountain and Mediterranean characteristics

 

REGIONAL PARK CORBIERES ET FENOUILLEDES

As an advanced bastion of the eastern Pyrenees, its Cathar castles and its exceptional geology make this region a newborn among the Regional Parks of France. Inaugurated in 2021, this park is a new territory to discover on the HexaTrek.Don't miss the Château de Peyrepertuse, a must-see on the HexaTrek.

 

SPANISH PARK (ALT PIRINEU - AIGUESTORTES)

As the mountain does not care about borders, the HexaTrek allows itself a trip to the other side of the massif, on the Spanish side, which offers breathtaking landscapes. Surrounded by numerous peaks reaching 3000m, this place is also nicknamed the region of a thousand lakes.
