The small valleys

Embed this item to access it offline

Along a short loop, criss-cross the rural countryside in the pays des sept vallons, interspersed with hamlets and villages which emerge as small islands of peacefulness and rural life.

As its name implies, this stroll is not lacking in relief! Some quite demanding uphill slopes await you along this route which runs in a mainly farming landscape. However, the highlight of this getaway is, without any doubt, the Montclar panoramic viewpoint with its 360° view over the Ségala, the Grands Causses and even on a clear day, the Aigoual massif.

Description

From the village centre, follow the direction of "La Fon Del Mas". A slight slope of 1km with an 8% gradient awaits you.
Cycle across the tiny hamlet, then keep riding the main road up to the Cayla.
Carry straight on the D501. You will notice the 4km ascent with a 6% gradient.
Fork to the left in the direction of Saint-Juéry.
Head towards Farret, then Montclar.
The Montclar viewing point is on your left and offers a stunning view to enjoy before carrying on your way to Coupiac.
A brief going there and back is possible to ride to the foot of the Coupiac castle. Get back to the D60 and head your way back down to Plaisance.
