St Jean de Bruel and Dourbies via Cassanas

Le Vigan - Alzon - Col de la Barrière Sauclières - St Jean du Bruel - Cassanas Dourbies - Col du Minier - Le Vigan

Discover the foothills of Mont Aigoual via the Dourbie valley.

You'll start your outing with a false-flat profile up to the Alzon tunnel, which you'll have to climb around as it's closed to bikes. After Alzon, continue on the D999 to Sauclières via the Col de la Barrière, on the Gard-Aveyron border.

Then head for St Jean de Bruel (D341) and Dourbies via Cassanas (D151A). Drive up the Dourbie valley to l'Espérou and turn right to the Col du Minier (D48) to descend to Le Vigan.
