Mountain Bike Route 1: Rabastens via the Chapels
Description
Easy but varied routes to discover the hills of Rabastens, their rich rural architecture, and numerous panoramas of the Tarn valley.
Starting from the Auzerals Lake, at the fisherman's hut, you begin on the dam and the right bank. To get warmed up, you head up towards the mill, pass by the Guidal church, and descend towards Rabastens. At the village exit, you ride to the Saint-Géry castle. You turn to head towards the hills on a path bordering fields. You cross the small hamlets of Bessède and then Vertus. In the valleys, you reach Raust and join the ridges to overlook the Tarn valley. And you finish with a descent back to the lake.
