레더그 최고의 사이클링 경로

A lovely bridge over the Tarn; the view from the bridge is beautiful and the bridge itself is stylish.

The weekly market is visited by locals and is a small social event.

A beautiful medieval town. Apart from the vehicles parked around, everything is as it was when the town was first built. Truly worth a visit!

Half of the famous shops closed, the others including the exorbitantly priced artisanal pole. Bar restaurant folded, welcoming some cold locals! Village that is dying..

The Tarn valley is steep enough that leaving it involves a nice climb, 5 to 6 km with passages at 10%. And multiple routes around Ambialet.

As you come down the D74 road and around the last corner before entering town, you get a splendid view of the village of Ambialet and the old hilltop Cathar fortress. Both look as if they have naturally emerged from the local rock-bed over the past few centuries. There is one restaurant and two cafes in town as well as a cafe and small hotel just over the bridge on the other side of town.

As the road meanders it's way along the hill crest you get a great view of the peninsular of Ambialet that is formed as the Tarn river wraps itself around the rocky outcrop upon which is built the centuries-old former Franciscan Monastery.

A good stopover for cycling or hiking with a cold beer 🍻
