Parcours 7

NIVEAU BLEU
Chiffres clés : 2,3 kms / d- 344 m
Magnifique chemin communal qui relie le plateau du Larzac à la vallée de la Dourbie.

Bel enchainement de parties techniques, nombreuses épingles qui s'enroulent, et de sections roulantes et rapides. Dans la série : à faire absolument. Courte remontée et passage en balcon au-dessus de la rivière sur la fin, pour rejoindre le pont.

Le départ chemine entre des murets en pierres sèches : gros travail de nettoyage effectué fin 2013. Partie un peu technique : puis le sentier plonge vers la vallée -un vrai régal- à travers des terrasses autrefois cultivées. Nous avons retrouvé intégralement l'ancien tracé : c'est un sentier qui respire le passé...

Very nice singletrack with a lot of flow, nice turns, and a steep climb at the end
Magnifique trail d'enduro, avec de magnifiques virages, des belles parties rapide et technique, et une belle monté raide à la fin !

ACCES
Prendre la D.991 direction Gorges de la Dourbie ; à l’entrée de la Roque Ste Marguerite, traverser le pont et monter au village de Pierrefiche du Larzac (18 kms au total). Se garer après l’église, devant la salle communale.

Access Info

Park at the bridge in the village and ride up the road to the hamlet of Pierrefiche, turn left and follow the main track to the left past the cottages. Then follow the signposts (blue square with white triangle above 2 white dots)

      le départ semble un peu bouché avec 2 chaines "propriété privée" passage sans encombre pour notre part. descente bien ludique en bon état.
