Synopsis:
Three fantastic mountain bike stages that will allow you to discover the Haut-Couserans. From the foot of the mountain to the heart of the Pyrennes you will take “the door” (la porte) and the plateau d’Ajeou as the crossroads for your itinerary between Ustou, Cominac and Aleu.
Day 1: Arrive at L’Escolan during the day. France will explain to you the itinerary for the next day and provide you with your annotated map and explanatory guide.
Day 2: You will climb to the inescapable plateau d’Ajeou. Then the descent down a very long forest track is pure pleasure. But you’ll need wiry legs to get back to the lovely slopes of the Cominac mountain bike track before arriving chez Raymond. 4h30 non-stop, height difference 850m .
Day 3: After a good breakfast looking out on Mont Valier, set out on a stage of your choice (A la carte). According to your fitness you choose the level for your day amongst the circuits of the Cominac mountain bike domain. In the evening Veronique and Michel welcome you to their beautiful wooden house with its panoramic views from the terrace. 3h30 non-stop 550m height difference.
Day 4: Set off on an intensive stage as much for the pleasure of the sport as for the beauty of the surroundings. Arrive back at Escolan at the end of the afternoon. 5h30 non-stop, height difference 1060m.
The price is 219€ based
on two people for the whole stay.
50€ less if you miss out one stage
40€ more if you take the additional day at Escolan at full board.
Includes: 3 nights full board at gites labelled Rando ‘Plume, with picnic basket for your midday meal, your luggage transported on the two away stages, your annotated IGN map and the topographical guide of the FFRP. Inclusive of dossier costs. Insurance not included. Mountain bike not included but can be hired.
