퐁타네스 드 수 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

The Croix des 7 Frères is a small, inconspicuous summit and the start of a nice ride in the area.

1253 meters high, you can reach it via asphalt or gravel road

As you drive out of the forest you get a view of the village of Comus.

Beautiful view of the village of Comus

With a length of more than 3 km, the Hers has dug a real gorge of 300 to 400 meters high in the Frau mountain. They form a natural connection between Comus in the Aude and Fougax and Barrineuf in the Ariège. Etymologically, Frau means break.

Comus is a small mountain village in the Aude, surrounded by forests and vast plateaus. Potatoes, sheep and cows, animate spring to early winter in this friendly village.

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.?

Fairly easy pass with average gradients of 5% on both sides.
