The PR25 – Vallée de la Lladure is an easy, signposted hike of approximately 13.5 kilometres, with a walking time of five hours from Formiguères. The hike through the Vallée de la Lladure passes through meadows, forests and quiet paths, making it suitable for a nature outing with family or friends.

Formiguères has two mountain biking trails: a green one for beginners and a blue one for riders with an intermediate level of experience.

Nature

The Camporells ponds are designated as a classified natural area. The Camporells forest is classified as a heritage forest.

The Camporells can be reached on foot from Formiguères, the Lladure Valley, Lac des Bouillouses or the Galbe Valley; access is physically demanding, but not excessively so.

Culture

At the heart of the village of Formiguères stands the Église Sainte Marie, a classified Romanesque monument. Its façade is protected as a Historic Monument. The church can be visited independently every day from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Ferme Pérarnaud sells agricultural products directly: farm-raised veal by the package or individually, raw milk, fresh cheese, yoghurt, and matured cheeses such as Tomme, Raclette and Tartiflette.
