Du Col de l'Ouillat à la mer
This route does not return to its starting point, and no station or stop is listed at the other end: plan to come back the same way, about 44.5 km in total.
Sur le mythique GR®10, laissez-vous porter par une randonnée d’exception. De col en col, les panoramas s’ouvrent à perte de vue, entre Catalogne nord et sud, jusqu’à une arrivée spectaculaire face à la mer.
