The Montségur rises about 1216 m high. On its summit rises the ruin of the most famous Cathar castle.

View of the Château de Foix

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quite worthwhile for a photo, but it's not a particularly good place to take a break here. There are neither shady places nor seating. If you come by here anyway, you can stop for a moment.

Foix Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Foix seems to have come out of a fairy tale. This twelfth century castle is the archetype of the fortified castle.

View Over the Heights After the Col de la Lauze

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Tip by

68.3 km

A 15km climb from the west, from river to forest and with stunning views across to Roquefixade, followed by a fast and very windy descent into the start of the climb to Montsegur or back to Lavelanet.

Montferrier

Highlight • Settlement

Montferrier is an authentic little Ariège village. It is crossed by the course of the Touyre and dominated by the Tabe massif. Nestled in this natural setting, the village delights lovers of green tourism in all seasons.
