If you are approaching the gorge from Fougax-et-Barrineuf, once you're in it expect a very tough hour of hike-a-bike. It's hard work but worth persevering because it's an incredible experience and the plateau when you finally reach Comus is stunning.

If you are approaching the gorge from Comus, do not be fooled by the approach (which is on a lovely stretch of wide double track). Once you enter the gorge it is very technical, there are sections which are very steep and strewn with large rocks and there are spots where rock falls have all but made the route impassable.

The Frau gorges form a narrow canyon that extends over three kilometers. This protected natural area is the result of the erosion of the Herf-Vifs river on the rock. The canyon is between 300 and 400 meters deep and for centuries it was a place of passage between the Pyrenean valleys.

Done on the way down. To put it into perspective, the problematic section is not that long (2km). I was sometimes able (prudently) to stay on the bike, between pushing and even carrying. There are impassable sections, and the elevation gain is indeed high (25%+): it is a mountain hiking trail. But the site is breathtaking and is worth including this section in a tour, especially on the way down. On the way up, I can well believe that it must be a struggle.
