01About the route

FRONTERA TRAIL STAGE 2 +577 TO +559 We start the stage on the 577 in Perthus where we will approach the old border crossing, where like a portal the +574 and +575 will welcome us.

Once at this point we will go back to the town hall and head towards Fort Bellaguarda. Once there we find one of the hot spots of the stage, long trousers required, we descend to the +573 and return along the same route. We will continue combining tracks with paths with a comfortable and continuous uphill path. Once at the Coll del Portell we take a path to the left entering the forest to the Coll de la Manrella. Especially the +559 is easy to find but we have to be patient and shortly after we finish the stage.

Tracing the border from milestone to milestone, at Gas Mountain we have set out to visit the entirety of the Mugues with a unique route, FRONTERA TRAIL, and to carry out a route like this that requires a lot of effort and commitment, Ruben Cruz Huertas and Humberto Vila will form a team together with a handful of collaborators to make this impossible possible. We will start the path at Muga +601 (bis), in the opposite direction as far as they can, with a series of routes to make the route as easy as possible for all those who want to participate in this proposal. FRONTERA TRAIL only wants to be a guide for the rest of walkers and mountain runners who want to go into visiting the Mugues with a continuous trail track with the minimum of deviations and following the route of the Spanish-French border as much as possible. The tracks presented have corrections so that users do not have difficulties in doing them, and have been tested by the runner Ruben Cruz Huertas once his design has been finalized. All sections of Frontera Trail have been tested in their entirety, we have corrected the sections where we have had problems, such as total loss of battery, lack of water... or other factors that have affected us when doing them, FRONTERA TRAIL is definitely the impossible made reality. This adventure began in February 2017 with the exploration of the mountains, study of routes, and a multitude of excursions to make them possible.
