LE MASSIF FORESTIER DE MONTPINS

The forest of Montpins is located 3 km from Espira-de-l'Agly towards Vingrau. Access is possible by car and a marked and maintained hiking trail. This Mediterranean pine forest bears witness to an unparalleled biological richness, an economic value with great potential and an undeniable tourist attraction. The place is ideal for a cool break or enjoy a shady hike (2h00 - 5.8 km) and enjoy its panoramic view of the valley of Agly. This exceptional heritage is every summer under the threat of fires. Many farmhouses are located in the heart of the massif and during the summer, this "subdivision" located in sensitive area benefits from the presence of firefighters (GIFF: Forest Fire Intervention Group).
