Beautiful rocky outcrops along the Aude

The Col de Marmare-Chioula is an 18.6-kilometer long Category 1 pass. It is located in Luzenac.

The Col de Marmare from Luzenac is a climb in the Ariège region. It is 16.8 kilometers long and climbs 828 meters.

The Col du Chioula from Prades is a climb in the Ariège region. It is 2.3 kilometers long and climbs 72 meters.

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!

I stopped there for a quick drink (without alcohol :p) before attacking the Roca Jalera pass. It's a very nice place, the owner is very nice and he even did me the favor of filling my bottles with fresh water and ice cubes please! Thanks again you'll see me again :)
