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 after the Galamus gorges. It is also the starting point for hikes to the mysterious Pic Bugarach.

Pass on the border between Aude and the Pyrénées Orientales

Among the 8 gorges that I crossed in the Pyrenees, they are my favorites after those of Joucou.

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 :)

One of the coolest roads out there narrow street slight decent with a bar at the end of the road.
