Sunset over Roquefixade

The Calm Plateau hike is a 4km round-trip trail with a 230m vertical drop. This 2-hour walk offers a new perspective on the fortress of Roquefixade.

From Roquefixade village square, take the path up to the castle. At the halfway point, an orientation table offers a spectacular panoramic view of the various peaks of the Tabe massif, the Lesponne valley and Montségur castle in the distance. Continue on, then turn right at the castle sign and start climbing the steep path. Once at the foot of the fortress, admire the view over the bastide town of Roquefixade before continuing your ascent to reach the highest point of the Calm plateau.

You’ve arrived! Your efforts will be amply rewarded by the 360° panorama and the bird’s-eye view of the castle and the valley below. The hike is particularly worth a detour at the end of the day to admire the last rays of sunshine and the shimmering lights of twilight.
