Route N°25 - De la vallée de Josbaig à Barcus

A concentrate of Béarn and Soule, unpretentious, but very interesting. Away from traffic and bucolic, a refreshing circuit to do in hot and dry days. Culture, history and traditions follow one another as you meet the Camino de Santiago, along the meadows and in the heart of the forests.

Perfect for summer rides and ideal for those who need a dose of chlorophyll, this route, although short, is quite intense. The 24 km extend over the relief. It is true that the warm-up goes smoothly until the Saint-Blaise Hospital, but right after the real game will begin. We can recommend a visit to the magnificent Romanesque church. The Saint-Blaise Hospital is a stage on the Camino de Santiago, where many pilgrims pass every year. Surrounded by beauty, it is time to jump right into our circuit and tackle the first climb right away. Green is still the dominant colour among meadows and dense forests. The foliage brings freshness and you will find passages on a balcony with a beautiful view of the mountains.

How to get there

In Oloron Sainte-Marie, follow the avenue that surrounds the city; cross the Gave d'Oloron bridge and then follow the Bayonne road (D836) towards Navarrenx. Drive about 10 km to the roundabout at the intersection of the villages of Préchacq-Josbaig and Aren. A large car park at the edge of the roundabout allows parking.
