VTTAE N°69 - Le tour de Saint-Pée
From Oloron Sainte-Marie, this is a circuit close to the woods and the Saint-Pée neighbourhood: a quick passage to the quiet banks of the Vert stream, where you can appreciate the peaceful place of the Pont Noir, or even the immersion in the Haut forest by a funny single track trail.
The route, located entirely in the city of Oloron Santa-Marie, begins at the edge of the Saint-Pée sports esplanade, nothing more natural for a city called "active and sports city". Then, you will arrive on the banks of the Vert, a beautiful tributary of the Gave d'Oloron, which you will discover from bridge to bridge, through the districts of Saint-Pée d'en Haut and Saint-Pée d'en Bas, where the site of Pont Noir deserves a contemplative or sports break (exercise parcours). Your bike's battery will be underused because the elevations are modest. Upon returning to the Bois de Haut, you will follow a long narrow path that is very playful, which is woven between the trees; Control your pace and fine-tune your bike's direction, front wheel control is essential.
