Super nice trail for mountain biking or electric mountain biking. Be careful, the path on the chapel side is very rocky. It's technical on the uphill side.

The Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux church probably dates from the 11th century and has been classified as a Historic Monument since 1986. It was damaged during the conflicts of the 16th century and the French Revolution, leading to the construction of a new south portal. It lost its parish function in 1846 in favor of the church of Vareilles, but excavations have revealed even older remains on its site.

Perched above the gorges sculpted by the Truyère, the Porte des Fées is distinguished by a surprisingly balanced rock, which has withstood time. In this peaceful place, the relief is made up of finely jagged granite peaks, and the surrounding trees are decorated with lichens. Below, the Truyère has carved majestic gorges into the rock.
