19 - Ükhümürrütia ttipia VTT

A small mountain bike concentrate at the entrance to the Sainte-Engrâce valley, to test the high altitude terrain and discover the little-known side of Ükhümürrütia. In this short version, the loop offers a straightforward climb on asphalt or tracks through mountain agro-pastoral bocage.

At the entrance to the Sainte-Engrâce valley, the little-known side of Ükhümürrütia offers two circuits of pure mountain bike concentration: on the menu, a straightforward ascent mixing small roads and pastoral tracks, and a pleasant descent on single-track. This short version of the Ükhümürrütia mountain discovery tour is also the most affordable; it can be considered with a VTTAE, facilitating the upward progression of the first part, sometimes flirting with 12 to 15% gradient. However, you'll need to be nimble on the descent, which is both fun and slightly technical, as it takes place on a single-track trail with a pastoral heritage, therefore not dedicated to mountain biking and changing with the seasons.

What's clear here is the feeling of rapid immersion in the Soulet mountains, in this mountain agro-pastoral bocage.
