Voici une piste assez courte au départ du hameau de Balestas, sur la station de Peyragudes. Courte mais très ludique, elle vous amènera à travers la forêt du même nom pour un moment inoubliable. Vous pouvez ensuite enchainer avec COUMAOU ou GOUTAOU pour rentrer à Loudenvielle. Au total vous cumulerez plus de 650 mètres de dénivelé négatif depuis Peyragudes Si vous croisez nos amis de Sherpa et leurs chiens de traineau, ralentissez et discutez avec eux de leurs aventures.

 Descente sur chemin forestier large et tout droit, aucun intérêt de pilotage! Niveau vert/balade mais rien d’enduro!
