    This beautiful gravel path winds through the red earth of Lac du Salagou.

    It is the iron oxide present in the rock that gives clay and sandstone this particular red color.

    Everything from Lac du Salagou in Gravel. (2 -3 very short portages) do not hesitate to stop to enjoy the views of the lake or the Ruffes Rouges.

    This tour is only for experienced mountain bikers.
    Not suitable for "normal" cyclists in our opinion
    We had to push our bikes uphill and downhill on the sections directly by the lake because the paths were too rocky.
    Despite everything, it was a great highlight
