The tourist service at Cabrières-d'Avignon :
A long climb up onto the ridges of Pouraques, followed by a mythical descent in single file in the heart of unspoilt nature.
On this fun, fast descent of La Grande Combe, be on the lookout for mountain-bikers coming the other way up the GTV trail!
Important: Beware of livestock guardian dogs on the ridges in spring.
Important: Watch your speed on the descent – you might not be the only one on the trail!
