This day is mostly about keeping a steady pace. There’s no nasty climb, but at around 22 kilometres and over 6 hours of walking, you will feel it. You climb little and descend a lot, so your knees will have more to do than your lungs.
The landscape is open and hilly, with stretches of woodland and meadow. At the highest point it can be chillier than you expected. After that you lose height gradually, and it comes easily. In La Salvetat-sur-Agout you walk into the village, which takes its name from the river. Find a terrace or a bench, take your shoes off and watch the rest of the pilgrims trickle in.
