The “Le Tour du Pic de la Madeleine” hike leads through two different valleys: through the valley watered by the Rieutort, with chestnut groves and foliage that changes colour with the seasons, as well as through the drier, wild and uninhabited valley of the Grave. Holm oaks and heather grow there on slate rock.
