1.30 pm: the CCB offers a choice of two gravel routes

Our two gravel routes take in numerous paths and trails, offering you an unrivalled cycling experience. Far from busy roads, traffic is kept to a minimum, ensuring greater safety – which is particularly welcome on this type of terrain. That’s what gravel cycling is all about: the freedom to venture where tarmac gives way to dirt, gravel and forest tracks.

Short route:

• This ride takes you along the Luy de Béarn to the north of Pau, returning via Lescar.
• 34 km and 130 m of elevation gain
• Route overview.

Long route:

• This ride takes you along the Luy de Béarn to the north of Pau and on to Lac de l’Ayguelongue, returning via Lescar.
