The amandiers bloom, the vineyards grow and revisit! Spring arrives in Corbières-Minervois, it is time to find the paths of the beautiful landscapes of this region.
A hiking area
We offer you to discover La Roca Dansaïra in Saint-Laurent-de-la-Cabrerisse. We love to explore the ridge with a botanical trail, discover the curious rock rock that plays tips on the edge of the ravine, turn your head in front of the orientation table and the wonderful panorama of the Corbières. The step-by-step description and route of this hike is downloadable online.
There is also the Geologist's trail in Albas. The route is marked with signs describing the geological history of Albas's exceptional site and allows to admire its synclinal. It leads to one of the windmills and crosses the garrigue before joining gardens and the village. With attention to the third type encounters… the dinosaurs are not far away. Here too, the details are online.
Other hikes are available and you can download them free of charge on the site of the Corbière-Minervois Tourist Country. In addition, the Topoguide «The Country Corbières Minervois… on foot» was released by the French Hiking Federation: sunny hills and shaded valleys, vineyards, olive trees, garrigues, limestone gorges, but also plains and alpages make up the rich palette of the landscapes of the Corbières-Minervois.
The Corbières Asinerie, to go through the Corbières at the edge of a donkey
Another experience, and rather off the beaten path, is a stroll along a donkey. In a wild and preserved nature, sunny, where the ciclets and scents of the garrigue blend, this occasion offers unique moments to live with family or friends. Your companions will be Caesar, Panisse, Fanny, Angèle, your new friends with great ears. You will be able to take care of your luggage (picnic, clothing, video materials etc.) and your young children.
