A magnificent location offering stunning views of the Ariège Pyrenees: the Montcalm Massif, the Bassiès Massif, the Beille Plateau, and more. Easily accessible from Croquié in both summer and winter, provided you're well-equipped and at least a little fit (800m+). Its only drawback: it's very crowded, especially in winter.

Roquefixade is a place both peaceful and mysterious, to be seen in all seasons, early morning or late evening. Neither the same nor entirely different, the timeless panorama is what makes the difference, compelling us to slow down, breathe, and gain altitude.

The most impregnable of the Cathar castles. The Cathars finally surrendered after an 11-month siege. The choice was conversion to the Roman Catholic Church or the stake. 200 Cathars chose the stake...

This castle was the only one of the larger and more famous Cathar castles we were missing... and the visit was totally worth it 🥰

Beautiful view of the "safe mountain" - the somewhat arduous climb is definitely worth it, because from the top you have a fantastic view ☺️
