Camping de la Gare

Anyone chasing an adrenaline rush can go canyoning or riverboarding down the Segre River (five minutes’ drive) or paragliding (15 minutes) over the peaks of the Pyrénées. Want a gentler way to see the spectacular landscape? Grab the boots and go hiking on Cerdanya trails (35 minutes), or play golf with a backdrop of mountains at Club de Golf de La Cerdanya (10 minutes). Better still, let the train do the work for you, and board the Petit Train Jaune from Enveitg (five minutes) to chug through dramatic alpine scenery right up to Bolquère, the highest ski resort in France. And talking of skiing, the resort of Porté-Puymorens (20 minutes) is good for all levels of skill, while Espace Cambre d’Aze (25 minutes) has lots of green slopes for novice skiers. When you’ve worn yourselves out canyoning or skiing, take to the waters at the Roman Baths of Dorres (10 minutes) or the hot baths at Bains de Llo (15 minutes) to rejuvenate tired legs. Take a day off from sporty stuff and tour the Mont-Louis Citadel (25 minutes), built in 1679 by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban to protect the French border from attack, and now open for guided tours of its towers and ramparts.
