Volcanic rock

The rather rolling singles are passable in gravel with a few exceptions due to the gravel and where it will be better to carry the bike for a few meters

Ghost village of Celles, obligatory stop during the lake tour with magnificent view. Parking for cars nearby, but opt for a short walk, it's always better...

An essential place in Hérault for outdoor sports (mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, paddle, fishing, etc.).
Be careful in the middle of summer, prefer sporting activities early in the morning to avoid the high heat. Little shade all around the lake.

September 4, 2021,Tour du Lac du Salagou Hérault

Today we went around the Lac de Salagou in the south of France. Great single trails on the red rock. It's very grippy, almost like the slickrocks in Utah. We had a lot of fun and ended up being really through because of the constant ups and downs. Even if the length and the altitude do not suggest it 👍👍😃😃

One of the most fun trails I've ever done, outside of the mountains. Beautiful scenery, a feeling of being abroad, bike park-style trails, but with little elevation gain. A must-do!

course n°1 red, some parts are technical but it is possible to avoid them as well as to cut the course.

Done with an electric bike, be careful, very hard passage, pebbles, rock, sand, 36 km announced at the end of the route, beginners, please refrain, have a nice bike!

A very nice round in terms of scenery and views. Some challenging passages for me, I occasionally had to scramble up and down. I don't have much experience with mtb abroad yet, but the tracks here are a bit more intense than at home on the ridge. But beautiful!!
