Walks: There are 2000 kilometres of well maintained, marked out pathways crossing Aude. Many of these excellent walks to be found in Routier, of varying lengths with great views of the Pyrenees, vineyards and fields of sunflowers, and lots of small villages and hamlets with many ancient ruins to explore. Discover by foot, cycle or horse the diversity of this region: sea, mountains, and deep gorges, rolling vineyards, picturesque villages and ancient ruins.

Hiking: The diverse countryside provides numerous opportunities with many hiking trails, ranging in difficulty from family-oriented trails to "extreme-descent" trails.

Horse riding and guided trekking: There are plenty of local horses riding schools. Priced from 5 -15 Euros an hour, depending on the age and experience of the rider, all day treks can be organized. There are many trails around the area. We have a large riding centre at Village du Cheval Goutareude in Cuxac-Cabardès.

Cycling and Mountain Bike Treks: This is a very popular cycling region; Cycles are available for hire by the week locally.
