Beautiful rocky outcrops along the Aude

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 :)

Superb passage in the hollow of the gorges. You follow a refreshing watercourse which winds its way between impressive rock walls.

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

The Rébenty gorges offer a magnificent stretch along the stream of the same name. The Rébenty has its source at the Col du Pradel before winding through a canyon which separates the Sault plateau in two.
