  • Moderate off-the-road  biking:

  • Active vacation tours mountain bike trips meant for those who prefer biking off the road and enjoy quite an amount of climbing. Taking the bike on the shoulder is reduced to a minimum but if you prefer a Sporting vacation tours and like steep and rocky trails will make parts of the tracks go with the Caussenarde race which very year is being held in June (2008: 1st of June). Strong climbing and taking the bike on the shoulder are regular challenges. Very good physical health required.
    The length of this mountain-bike trip varies from about 40 (active) and 60 (sporting) km a day.

  • The tracks on the Causses (Limestone plateaus are on farmers roads, unpaved and marked for mtb trails. The tracks are flat to hilly on the plateaus; but to climb up the causse (elevation gains of 400m) you take paved roads. The tracks in the other parts are  on single and double tracks also marked for walking trips. These tracks are more difficult (more ups and downs of 50m elevation gains) therefore 40 km a day is the maximum. If you want we can adapt the trail to make it more difficult or lighter or shorter. No dirty roads, sometimes on rocky track. 

  • The weather in late July-early August is warm to hot (25-30 degrees Celsius). But on the Causses above 700m is is not that warm and down in the valleys (Tarn, Dourbie, Sorgues and Dourdou) it is cooler too.
