Gravel N°16 - Gravel Ride to the Combalou
A gradual climb from Roquefort? Yes, but beware: the ascent along the foothills of Combalou soon becomes demanding, even if the landscape unfolding before you more than rewards your efforts. The descent, along a fairly rocky and bumpy trail, requires you to slow down and stay focused.
Description
- From the Tourist Office, follow the road towards the heart of the village, then take the first right at the traffic lights. After a few hundred metres, you will join the Combalou trail.
- At this point, continue straight ahead towards the summit.
- After a well-deserved break to enjoy the magnificent panoramic views over the surrounding area, it’s time to turn back towards Lauras. When you reach point “2” again, take the trail below you on your left.
- After approximately 2 km of descent along a beautiful trail, follow the road to your right to return to Roquefort, with one final climb on the road.
