Route N°15 - Au pied des sommets par le Bager
This healthy walk describes a bucolic loop on the edge of the Aspe and Ossau valleys. Without significant difficulties, the pleasure of pedalling in the field outweighs the effort. The loop includes a link in the Bager Forest, on a gentle cycle route away from the most rushed motorists.
Between Oloron Sainte-Marie and Arudy, this Piedmont circuit visits a dozen villages at the gates of the Aspe Valley and the Ossau Valley. Through fertile fields and back roads, you can try a country bike ride with friends on a spring morning. Not so demanding as to require regular training. There are no stages serious enough to take your breath away and stop the talk. Just a healthy route at the foot of the Pyrenean mountains and under a thick beech forest. Because after the stone villages, the Buzy dolmen and the Arudy marble quarries, the circuit offers a beautiful chlorophyll parenthesis under the shade of the Bager forest. A curvy path weaves through the trees for miles, one of these paths that are much more pleasant to pedal than to drive, and which lead you back to the left bank of the Gave d'Aspe, at the gates of Oloron.
