サルベージーンの峠・トップ4

From Axat, it's a long climb, 18km. It's quite beautiful down in the gorges, then a few kilometers of fairly monotonous woods. Arriving on the plateau, it clears up but it's rural. The impressive view is worth it when you reach the pass. Going down there must be a blast, the tarmac is good, it's quite wide and there's little traffic. I went down via Escouloubre: the tarmac is bad, gravel, but the forest is enchanting! Why not go the other way, then, up via Escouloubre and down via Bousquet / Roquefort etc.?

Pass on the border between Aude and the Pyrénées Orientales

Nice little one of 15.3 km, very rolling (average slope 3.4% with a max of 8%), very nice shade in the summer when the sun is beating down!

Beautiful scenery, different conditions from both sides. Departure to Caudies a dream. More information: https://www.quaeldich.de/paesse/col-de-saint-louis/

pretty point of the Sault plateau

“Col de Saint Louis” from Quillan: 14 kilometers long and covers 350 vertical meters with an average gradient of 2.9%. From Caudiès-de-Fenouillèdes: 6.2km and 5.6%. The top of the ascent is 698 meters above sea level. In the 2021 Tour, Bauke Mollema won stage 14 and was the first to climb this slope. I cycle this climb in the opposite direction, twice as long, but less difficult

A must-see since the Tour de France revealed this treasure

above the forest of Lisser you will find a splendid starting point for walks
