Cycling - Hills and Scenery.

Whether you want to seriously test yourself on mountain roads, or take a more leisurely cycle through woods and scenery, the area has plenty to offer.
There are a number of cycle-hire shops in the area, and you'll see lots of wannabe yellow jerseys pedalling furiously in the sunshine. And what's more - motorists actually treat cyclists with respect here!

Golf - no flat courses here!

For those into golf, there is the spectacular Domaine de Falgos.
It sits right on the border with Spain. The 18-hole course (par 70, 5047m) is fairly demanding and has fabulous views across the Bay of Roses in Spain and Mount Canigou in France.
Aside from a number of other 18-hole courses just across the border and towards the coast, there are also 9-hole courses locally at Amelie Les Bains and at Camprodon.

Horse Riding

If you fancy horse riding, you will find a number of riding centres. As well as hourly hire, some of them also arrange daily trips on horseback or longer trips with accommodation.
