Le GR861 Via Garona traverse la Haute-Garonne en Occitanie sur 166,2 km. L’itinéraire suit l’esprit du fleuve et relie des paysages de vallées, de coteaux, de forêts, de falaises et de vignobles, avec plusieurs secteurs propices aux vues dégagées. Le parcours permet de découvrir une partie du patrimoine naturel et historique du sud-ouest, entre campagne toulousaine et piémont pyrénéen. Son accès depuis Toulouse en fait une traversée intéressante pour explorer l’Occitanie sans dépendre uniquement de la voiture.
