Tourist information

Beautiful views of Montségur castle from the Pas du Roc pass.
En Pyrénées audoises, le Pays de Sault est constitué d’un haut plateau situé à plus de 1000 m d’altitude et propose de magnifiques panoramas sur les Pyrénées ariégeoises. De nombreuses grottes où subsistent des traces d’occupation préhistorique, dont certaines ornées de gravures pariétales, sont disséminées dans ce secteur (ne se visitent pas). Dans le village de Belvis (voir le parcours FR-11 Col de Coudons) there are contemporary frescoes, which repeat some of the drawings.
Le Pays de Sault is also renowned for its potato crops.
If you only have one day, I'd recommend one of these two routes, starting from the village of Belcaire or Espezel.

Technical specifications

Cyclable at 97%, and accessible by gravel, this is a very fine route with a first section of beautiful forest passages followed by a long stretch on the Sault plateau that presents no major difficulties.
