You are currently walking along a hiking trail where regular waste collection points are conveniently provided. In order to respect this exceptional space, which is visited each month by tens of thousands of hikers and walkers, we encourage you to dispose of all your waste (glass, paper, food scraps, etc.) at these collection points, and to pick up any litter you may unfortunately come across during your walk. By performing these simple yet essential actions, let's keep this site clean, as nature has graciously provided it."Roadbook
- From the Valmy parking lot, retrace your steps to the road and descend toward "Camping des Mimosas."
- At the ford, take the left path marked DFCI-AL n°42 and follow the PR ARG1 markers. After the Mas Peyrot, you'll overlook the Château de Valmy.
- At 150m, turn right; the path deepens and ascends through the cork oak forest towards the Dolmen de 'La Cova de l'Alarb' (178m). There are multiple paths around, so be attentive to the yellow pedestrian markers.
- Cross the DFCI-AL n°41 trail and continue straight to reach the remains of the Dolmen dels Collets de Cotlliure (274m).
- Ascend to the intersection of several DFCI trails near a concrete basin, where you can take a break before continuing the ascent. Now, take the path that climbs ahead, behind the basin.
- This trail crosses the DFCI-AL n°41ter twice. At the second crossing, stay on the path until its end at the Roc del Corb (The Raven Rock), also known as the terminus by the locals.
- Take the path leading to Coll de la Placa d'Armes (677m). This marks the boundary of the Massane Forest Nature Reserve, identified by a sign.
- Take the left path, Le Rimbau PR ARG3, which plunges into the beech forest and emerges at Coll d'en Verderol (776m).
- Follow the route passing by the water catchments of Font d'en Cassanyes (Note: for safety reasons, bypass the tunnel) and Font d'en Vergés.
- At the intersection of Le Rimbau PR ARG3 and GR10, head toward Pic Sallfort (978m). The vegetation here is sparse due to the strong winds. From this point, the panoramic view of the two Catalonias is exceptional. To return, retrace your steps back to Valmy.
