Hiking - Camprieu
A hike through a very varied landscape but focused on the forest that was created by the large reforestation programme begun in the late 19th century.
Today, the big trees that cover the slopes seem to always have been there. And yet in 1864, when the French state forestry service began reforesting the mountain, which looked like a giant landslide, the inhabitants of Camprieu disagreed. Slowly, they were persuaded that the work was urgent.
Before committing yourself to a circuit, ensure that it is suitable for your activity level and ability. Remember that the weather changes quickly in the mountains. Take enough water.
