Acces routes by car

In this document you can find more information about your route to here.

As the Caminada Vielha is situated at 1300m, you'll have to climb a pass in one way or another. Depending on where you come from, there are several possible routes. On the next page you can find detailed descriptions in case you need them. If you have to drive over , you have the possibility to drive over Lavelanet and Ax-les-Thermes in the same period of time. Coming from :

Lavelanet : The col de la Croix des Morts : is rather progressive through the forest. Quillan : The col des Coudons : is steeper and winding, but on a wide road. Ax-les-Thermes : The col de Chioula : is steeper and winding, on a narrower road.

If you opt for the route via Ax-les-Thermes, make sure that your GPS doesn’t send you over the Col de Marmare. Although this is a very scenic route, the road is extremely narrow and is not cleared of snow in winter.

To check road conditions, please visit www.inforoute.fr. On this page, you will find possible delays as well as roads that may have been closed due to road works.

Winter scenes at La Caminada Vielha are an annual phenomenon . In addition to the above information, the website also provides information on winter conditions and recommendations or obligations regarding the regulations for your vehicle (snow chains, snow tyres, ...). Please take this into account so that you can enjoy your journey and stay safe!

As of 2021, winter chains or tyres will be mandatory in mountainous areas during the winter period, i.e. from 1 November to 31 March. In Occitania, several departments such as Haute-Garonne, Hautes-Pyrénées, Pyrénées-Orientales and Ariège will be affected.

In any case, we wish you a very pleasant and safe journey! See you soon!
