アベンヌ川の貯水池でののおすすめグラベルライド

Let your soul unwind

Great enduro-style ride with plenty of swimming spots. Beginners should refrain.

A very pleasant climb from Lamalou-les-Bains! The beginning is (very) steep (7-8% average over quite a few kilometers), but it becomes more rolling after that.

Super nice ‘tour’. The portion from the end of the lake is not always accessible. You might have to take the road which is ok and safe.

This tiny and peaceful village, with a worldwide reputation for the benefits of its water, is a perfect location for hikers and gravel enthusiasts. You have many options of loops from there. Enjoy!

The bucolic charm of the places and the banks of the Orb is striking. The economy of Avène has always been based on significant mining activity that began under Roman rule and continued until 1954, when the Rabasse mines closed. Created in 1962 for hydroelectric production and regulation of the Orb, the Lac des Monts d'Orb (or Lac d'Avène) is 6 kilometres long and covers an area of 190 hectares. An old lead and silver mine is now submerged under the lake: the mines and their exploitation were a source of wealth for the Orb valley, from Antiquity until the 1950s. Today, it is above all nature that provides Avène with one of its benefits: water from the depths of the Languedoc earth. This water that has been shaping a destiny for two and a half centuries, a vocation inspired by Thermalism. It is impossible not to go to the Thermal Baths, a stone's throw south of the village (the markings of the Sentier des 2 Lacs allow you to reach the site on foot, and the connection is pretty!). The Thermal Baths site is peaceful, relaxing... like the range of well-being and beauty products from the Avène brand. Beyond the thermal area, there is a magnificent hotel and an excellent restaurant! The establishment is committed to a truly eco-responsible approach: use of local products, innovative and energy-efficient architectural and technical choices...

The Col du Layrac is a great exit objective. Whether for its ascent via wooded roads and trails or its clear summit which offers a lovely panorama of the surrounding massifs.

Nice view from the hill
