Set off on an unforgettable journey across the Pyrenees, tracing the footsteps of the Cathars — known as the Good Men and Good Women — along a 230 km trail that links the Sanctuary of Queralt (Berga, Catalonia) to Foix (Ariège, France), with a breathtaking passage by the legendary Castle of Montségur.

The Good Men’s Path is more than just a hiking route: it’s a voyage through history, spirituality, and stunning landscapes. Along the GR-107 trail, you’ll relive the Cathars’ exile — advocates of a pure and simple Christianity that stood in opposition to the corrupt and authoritarian Church of the 13th century.

Today, this cross-border path can be explored on foot, on horseback, or by mountain bike. You can also follow the route by car and visit the charming towns of the Berguedà, Cerdanya and Ariège regions.

Whether you travel solo or with support from specialized agencies, the Good Men’s Path offers all the services you need for a memorable adventure: charming accommodations, mountain guides, luggage transport, taxis, travel agencies, and information points.

Come and hear the whisper of history among mountains and forests, travel at your own pace and live it with all your senses!
