Where is the Via Corda?
The Via Corda is located in the Gorges de l’Aude in the commune of St-Martin-Lys near Quillan and Axat in the Aude department in the South of France.
The geographical location is a major asset for this activity, as it is less than an hour’s drive from Carcassonne, Foix, Les Angles and Perpignan.
The driving times to reach the Via Corda are also very reasonable:
Allow a little over an hour from seaside resorts such as Barcarès, Canet Plage, Torreilles, Saint Cyprien and Argelès sur Mer
Adventurers coming from Montpellier and Toulouse should allow around 2 hours of driving to reach their destination.
Whether you come from the coast or inland, you can easily go to Belvianes-et-Cavirac to discover the Via Corda route, located in an exceptional natural setting in the Aude region.
