12 - Erretzü VTT

From Tardets?s lively arcaded square, it takes just a couple of hours to embark on a fairly challenging loop to the Erretzü hill. More precisely, a complete circuit, mostly on single-track, sometimes technical trails through moorland and groves,

From the banks of the River Saison and Tardets?s lively arcaded square, it takes just a couple of hours to embark on a fairly sporty loop to the Erretzü hill, the atharraztars? (Tardets locals?) easily accessible oxygenation ground. More precisely, this mountain bike route takes you all the way around the Erretzü summit. After a gradual rise in temperature on the banks of the Etcheberry stream, most of the trails are single-track, leading you up the mountainside in an anti-clockwise direction, over all the fern-covered moorland slopes. In addition to panoramic views in all directions, the trails offer a number of technical challenges on both the ascent and descent, with a few rocky climbs requiring explosive and flexible pedaling.

How to get there

From Mauléon-Licharre, take the D918 to Tardets. After Trois-Villes, enter Tardets via the Sorholus district; turn right at the crossroads with the Post Office and Tardets town hall, heading for Alos (D247). 70 m further on, just before a bridge, fork left to find the parking lot at the lavoir, on the banks of the Gave du Saison (relaxation and picnic area).
