VTT - Circuit 15 Les Ballades
This black circuit, rather difficult, with a small portion that can be ported to 2/3, is quite varied.
You will first of all cross the commune of Olemps, at the gates of Rodez, by a descent on La mouline to then join the lake of Planèzes.
After passing through the village of Luc (viewpoints on Rodez) a monotrace will take you to the edge of the Aveyron river which you will cross, then you will pass through the village of Ampiac where you can see its castle. A very short road link followed by an ascent in the heather (which could be the subject of a portage) and a path along the brook will allow you to reach the hamlet of Agnac.
The descent that follows will bring you back, via Les Ballades, to the Aveyron which you will follow in the undergrowth before the ascent to Olemps. The heart of the hamlet of Ampiac is made up of the 15th century church and the castle. Its openings, the coat of arms stamped with the arms of the Ampiac family (with the two pine cones on it) take us back to the 13th century. The southern dwelling, redesigned during the Renaissance, is flanked by turrets equipped with gunboats decorated with lion's heads.
