The tourist service at Sault :
A varied, picturesque circuit accessible for all, including mountain bikes with electric assistance.
Relatively strenuous because of its rolling profile, this cycle route is popular for its variety of paths and panoramic views over the villages and surrounding hilly areas. At the 6th kilometre, the less experienced can go on directly towards the village of Aurel so as to avoid a relatively steep ascent between kilometres 8 and 9.
