La boucle du piémont ossalois à vélo

This panoramic loop at the gateway to the Ossau valley has all the ingredients for a complete tour. From a heritage point of view, several villages will be visited on this land occupied by man since the dawn of time, criss-crossed by ancestral roads and nourished by the healing waters of the Gave d'Ossau. Typical Béarn houses, manor houses, castles, churches, dolmens, wash-houses and viewpoints follow one another as you explore the villages and hamlets. So many invitations to pause and observe.
If you're a sporty type, you're in for an invigorating loop, as the trail weaves its way from one valley to the next in search of new discoveries: it climbs ancient moraines, and here and there scours promising back roads. The climbs are one after the other, but the ever-changing scenery will soon make you forget how demanding some of the bumps can be.
