VTTAE N°72 - D'Oloron à Poey
An easy route in the valley of the Gave of Oloron, which has the main attraction of going from the city to the country in a few pedal strokes. We drive without difficulty on rural roads to Poey-d'Oloron, and we enjoy the whole journey with a very wide view of the Pyrenees.
An easy route on the right bank of the Gave of Oloron, very smooth in the middle of a floodplain very suitable for agriculture. The architectural heritage of the intersecting towns and villages is interesting, as they are some manors and castles near the route (all private): the castle of Peyré in These, the castle of Verlée in Ledeuix, the castle of Pédelaborde in Poey. Looking at the horizon, the mountains unfold peaks and peaks, this panorama of the Pyrenees will follow you all this route.
This circuit hides only a real climb of a few minutes, the access to the Poey-d'Oloron hill. Otherwise, it is quite flat, with some false plains in the middle of the fields. The electric assistance will help you return if the shape is not yet at full blast in the early days of spring, or if a small mischievous wind seeks to slow your progress.
