Route N°21 - Oloron-Montory, les collines du Pays basque

Green meadows and country roads are on the menu of this rural circuit that links the Barétous valley and the Basque province of Soule. After a flat start at the exit from Oloron Sainte-Marie, ideal for warming up your legs and finding your cruising speed, you will begin by climbing the quiet banks of the "Vert" river. Head to the villages of Barétous, Féas, Ance, Aramits and then Lanne, with views of the forested foothills and even the Pic d'Anie massif to be seen on the horizon. Some hills make it necessary to stand up when approaching Montory or Barcus, but the challenges are quickly overcome and throughout the loop you will have plenty of time to appreciate the quality of the landscapes, the flocks of sheep and cows in the pasture and the great value of the heritage of each of these villages.
