This trail is perfect for beginners looking for a thrill who aren’t exactly new to the sport. The route starts with an uphill climb on a forest road through the Beaumont National Forest, then follows a winding trail through the woods to Vieil Eyguians. The descent continues through the woods, with a short section over gray marl. Kids with a good little mountain bike are sure to love it!
Follow the blue Mountain Bike Trail No. 13.

Description

  2. After the bar-restaurant, turn left toward Vieil Eyguians and go under the railroad tracks.
  3. Turn right and begin the climb up the road overlooking the Bestiace torrent.
  4. At the intersection, take the trail on the right. It winds through the Beaumont National Forest and joins another trail further up.
