The Perics tour

Sport, Pedestrian sports, Hiking itinerary in Orlu
48.0 km
Quite difficult

  • An incredible loop between the Haute-Ariège and the Pyrénées-Orientales. 4 days of hiking from refuge to refuge.

  • The Tour des Pérics loop goes from hut to hut. You must first reach one of them to begin.
    There are several possibilities... Think of it as a warm-up.

    From Ariège :

    - Start by climbing to the Refuge d'en Beys, a 3-hour walk via the Orlu Reserve. Access to the start by car or train + hitchhiking

    - Or climb to the Refuge des Bésines, also a 3-hour hike from l'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre. The advantage of this option is its proximity to the SNCF train station.

    From Pyrénées-Orientales :

    - Or climb to the Refuge des Camporells via the greenhouse at Maury in 1h45. From Formiguères resort, follow the forest track to the parking lot at the arrival point of the Calmaseille chairlift (point 2095 m on the IGN).
  • Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
    The Tour des Pérics is an itinerary devised by the refuge wardens themselves, who use it from time to time to visit their "neighbors". It can start from any refuge, but in any case the variety of landscapes on the dividing line between Ariège and Capcir, and the presence of a rich flora and fauna (Orlu National Reserve, PNR des Pyrénées Catalanes) are a feast for the eyes! This incredibly diverse massif is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the Pyrenees!
