Tour of Mont Valier

You are in the heart of the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Natural Park.
We encourage you to adopt responsible behavior in this fragile and shared environment.
- Stay on the trails and take your waste with you.
- Observe the flora without picking it.
- Remain discreet for the wildlife.
- In summer grazing areas, remember to close fences and gates. Do not approach or feed the animals. If a Patou (livestock guardian dog) approaches you, move away slowly and calmly. Do not make sudden gestures or shout, even if it barks, as it will consider you a threat. If it follows you, ignore it.
- Swimming in lakes is discouraged. Sunscreen (even organic!) and other cosmetics are sources of pollution in this fragile environment.
- Camping is allowed, but only between 7 pm and 9 am, and at more than one hour's walk from a parking lot.
- During drought periods, all fires are prohibited. Otherwise, fires are only allowed at more than 200m from a forest. Prefer stoves to natural fire pits.
- In the unlikely event of an encounter with a bear (which tries at all costs to avoid us): make yourself heard calmly, move away gradually, and do not run.
