VTT Carladez : Les cimes du château de Valon
A must for the most athletic.
Start : Lacroix-Barrez
Be warned: if this route is classified as difficult, it is mainly because of the long and demanding climb from the banks of the Truyère to Bars. For the rest, everything is contrasts and surprises, with magnificent panoramas on the Truyère gorges and the Valon castle which it would be regrettable not to take the time to visit. Once past the hamlet of Prat, the gentle route along the Truyère on the Camin d'Olt will bring its share of gentleness before the famous climb to the plateau!
