14 - Bostmendieta VTT

From Tardets to the Bosmendieta estive, we set off on an isolated adventure that will suit even the most experienced riders. Those who appreciate the endurance required for a long ascent (800 m vertical drop in one block), and a remarkable panorama in the heart of Soule.

A mountain-biking enthusiast who doesn't shy away from climbing as long as the trail is rolling and the scenery celebrated, and who knows how to tackle long, technical and chaotic descents with pleasure and application. Do you recognize yourself in this portrait? Then this is the tour for you!

From Tardets to the Bosmendieta mountain pasture, we set off on a little adventure in isolated country; the Chapeau de Gendarme greets your courage and, once you've passed the last houses, you're off to the great outdoors, with the sensation of gaining altitude on a regular trail, where everyone will have to find the pedaling frequency that suits them best for the long haul, and which is very pleasant because it's panoramic. Up here, you can see all the way from Mauléon to the Pic d'Orhy, via the Pic d'Anie.

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).
