From Kaze to Yane - Mountain bike

 Cross the Gimone river behind the campsite (make sure to follow the red route no. 2 marking) continue on your way, follow the river to the Larrouy wood at St Elix.

Crossing the wood, admire the work "KAZE" (wind in Japanese) by Teruhisa SUZUKI, which resembles a tornado held in balance.

Cross the D12 and continue to the paved road towards Saramon. At the end of the wood, descend into the Lauze valley which you ascend for a few kilometers.

Cross the river and go up towards Moncaut. You have a magnificent view of the Faget Abbatial abbey, one of the oldest in Gascony.

Continuing on your way, you pass near a beautifully restored windmill to descend to Lamaguère, where you can see the ruins of the 12th-century castle.

Join the Aguin wood, descend to Lambert on the Arrats valley and climb to Plan. Cross the wood, pass the ford to go up towards En Herranet.

The descent into the Gimone valley poses no problem. Cross the D12 at the dovecote (stop here) and after crossing the river, climb towards Villefranche.

Cross the D238, climb the dirt road. Turn left at the top of the hill. The ridge path offers one of the finest views over the countryside and the Pyrenees mountain range.

Following the red route no. 2 marking, you arrive at Higues wood which you cross. Climb to Gruos (magnificent viewpoint).

Descend onto the D 129, cross the Riou Perrin (small stream).

Continue on the Embayle and Rajogats path (important paleontological site) to arrive at the Loriot mill.

The last descent, very beautiful but very fast "du coucassé", will take you back to the stadium.
