Olivier Prohin

This is a slightly technical route but you are sure to appreciate the views on the Causse Méjean plateau and the return to Rousses along the Tarnon river.



Despite its elevation gain, this route is of medium difficulty because the main climb is on the road. However, it also has superb singletrack sections, which contribute to making it a magnificent MTB circuit.

Take the road towards Massevaques, Mont Aigoual. After camping, then take the 2nd path on the right (concrete at the start it quickly becomes a track).



  1. Everything starts with a track, then a singletrack, that take you to Les Ablatats. The exit between the houses is a little steep.

  2. You then join the road that climbs to Montcamp and takes you to the route’s highest point, at an altitude of 900 metres.

  3. At the last hairpin bend before you get to Montcamp, take the track on your right. The descent is first on a path among fields with a view of the Causse Méjean, then enters the forest.

  4. At Le Gua, the return to Rousses is on a path that borders the Tarnon.
