  • This lovely "difficult" circuit, starting from Mende, is a beautiful, sporty hike between Margeride and the Lot Valley. It alternates climbs and descents with landscapes of coniferous forests and pasture meadows, as well as beautiful views of the Lot Valley. Mountain Bike Area - FFC Mende

  • After 2.5 km of false flat, the first difficulty of the route is a 3 km climb with 200 meters of elevation gain. A nice one-kilometer descent allows you to catch your breath before climbing 280 meters of elevation gain over 5.5 km. You arrive at the hamlet of Saint-Martin du Born!

You then head downhill on tracks that wind between fields and meadows to reach the hamlet of Pelgeires and then the Lot valley. You then take the N88 for 300 meters, be careful because it is a very busy road. The circuit branches off to the right onto a track towards Nojaret, the hamlet where Jean-Antoine Chaptal was born! The route then takes a path with a slightly steep climb to the mid-slope of the Causse de Mende, which offers very beautiful views of the valley ( Badaroux, Les Bories and Mende , ...). The track descends towards Sirvens, crosses the Lot and the N88 to climb back up the opposite slope through the Rieucros forest and finally descends to Mende and completes this very pretty loop. Road access : The start of the circuit is located in the parking lot of the Jean-Jacques Delmas sports complex, in front of the intercommunal swimming pool (route du Chapitre).
