VAE N°19 - Les crêtes d'Issarbe
It must be said that the proposed route requires an electric bike equipped with the latest technology. Five passes to climb, 1 465 m of total elevation gain in 55 km to complete a high-end loop. Once the autonomy can be adequate the "e-cyclist" can fully enjoy the landscapes on these popular routes.
It must be said that the proposed route requires complete physical preparation or an electric bike equipped with the latest technology. Five passes to get through, 1465 m of total elevation gain in 55 km to complete a high-end loop. Freed from physical limitations and assured of adequate autonomy, the "e-cyclist" can fully enjoy the landscapes crossed by little crowded and popular roads as much as he wants. When turning around a curve, a small herd of three hundred sheep can appear under the uninhibited gaze of some “Blondes d’Aquitaine”. These natural obstacles require caution, but they provide a great sense of freedom and bring the charm and interest of this circuit without any doubt. A short detour through a "cayolar" after the Soudet pass is also an opportunity to bring a piece of "Ossau Iraty" cheese or simply to chat with a shepherd.
