Maury: Hiking and Mas Amiel

For a trip to Maury, hiking and visits to Mas Amiel are two specific highlights to consider. The trails include a partly shaded family circuit and a 13.5-kilometre hiking loop starting in Maury. At Mas Amiel, you can also visit the 19th-century cellar and enjoy tastings. If you’re looking for hotels in Maury, you can first consider which of these highlights you want to shape your plans.

Hiking routes with different highlights

The Sentier d'Interprétation de Roubials is a partly shaded family circuit. Its route format and the amount of shade are two useful points to consider: you can think of it as a loop and also bear in mind that it is only partly shaded. If you want to include a loop in your day’s plans, this outing is clearly described.

Le Dernier Bastion Cathare is a 13.5-kilometre hiking loop starting in Maury. The route passes through the vineyards of Maury and continues to the foot of the Château de Quéribus. The stated distance gives you a concrete idea of the tour. One section also offers panoramic views of the Canigou and Carlit mountain ranges.

The two trail descriptions have different highlights: the Sentier d'Interprétation de Roubials is described as a family circuit with partial shade, while Le Dernier Bastion Cathare is described in terms of its length, route through the vineyards and panoramic views. This lets you choose based on which of these features matters most for your outing.

Conditions on Le Dernier Bastion Cathare may vary. Check them before setting out so your plans match the conditions on the day of your visit.

Mas Amiel: cellar, barrels and tastings

Mas Amiel offers visits to its 19th-century cellar and its 350-hectolitre barrels. The historic cellar and large barrels give a visit a different focus from a hike: here, a specific place takes centre stage.

Tastings of Maury Sec and Vins Doux Naturels are also available. The cellar visit and tasting have different focuses: the visit is about the cellar and barrels, while the tasting features the two named types of wine. This lets you weigh up hiking trails against a wine-related visit when planning your trip.

Mas Amiel has more than 200 years of passion and expertise behind it. This history adds a historical perspective to the specific visitor experiences. Tours and tasting packages may change. Check what’s currently available before your visit if you want to include one of these activities as a definite part of your trip.

Choose your hotel based on your plans

First consider whether hiking routes or Mas Amiel will play a bigger part in your stay. You can then choose hotels in Maury based on your personal requirements and coordinate your travel plans with the activities mentioned.
