MTB routes and circuits

A difficult blue circuit which could have been red because the climb is done in two stages with two somewhat rough passages (a bit of a "stroller") be careful on the way back a small part of the descent is quite technical. But the whole constitutes a remarkable training circuit and discovery of very beautiful landscapes.

Circuit n°17 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Several sections shared with the 17 and 5. Before Cazedarnes, a short but steep and fairly technical descent awaits you.

You cross Cazedarnes from west to east and after a short but severe climb, the return descent begins.

Circuit n°8 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

A very pretty green circuit, but comparable to a “blue” on a few short passages. After a first part in the vineyard, the return takes a very beautiful forest track.

Circuit n°19 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Be careful, this circuit is reserved for “strong” people. Significant elevation changes, long distance and technical descents.

Short training at the start then two long and difficult climbs to tackle without restraint first the descent of Fréjo entirely in the undergrowth and single-track with pronounced "pins", then the long descent of the antennas (about 2,5 km d 'a single mineral single track that winds between the holm oaks).

Circuit n°1 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Good physical and technical form necessary for this lovely circuit.

A complete discovery of the mountains of Grage and Montahuc with return via the hamlet of La Bosque.

Circuit n°2 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

No real technical difficulty but a little steering on the descents. Very beautiful views of St Chinian for a circuit which runs through the vineyards in a beautiful schist terroir and the pine woods of the foothills of the Grage. An ideal course to discover the discipline.

Circuit n°22 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

A sports circuit, requiring good physical condition

but no big technical difficulty. The climb is “rough” but the reward is there with a very beautiful descent cut by slightly more technical passages and breathtaking views of Saint-Chinian and the sea.

Circuit n°7 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Same type of landscapes as the 11 but more single tracks and an incursion towards Villespassans and Assignan. A beautiful journey of discovery!

Circuit n°15 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Less elevation gain than 1 and 2 but a lot of bumps and single tracks in the first part. The second part is much more sporty and with two very long, fairly technical descending single tracks. From Babeau, quick and easy return, common with number 9. Without doubt the most exhilarating and varied circuit on the site!

Circuit n°3 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Ideal and family-friendly to discover the area: a little difficulty and technique, vineyards, pines, mimosas.

It will help you discover the surroundings of Babeau-Bouldoux, crossing vineyards, pines and mimosas. It will take you along the Vernazobre where you can refresh yourself during a short break.

Circuit number of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chininais.

Discovery more than technical or performance, it allows a complete tour of the southwest of the land. At the end of the circuit, negotiating the descent from the Assignan plateau to the Donnadieu stream spices up the circuit.

Circuit n°10 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

A beautiful discovery trail with beautiful capitelles very close to the circuit.

This circuit is a variation of circuit 15, with three beautiful climbs, limestone landscapes and very beautiful views.

Short but some technical passages like the descent

from the first plateau via the Camp Redon trail. Don't miss the old Lime Kiln and the Dolmen, a little away, at the top right of the long climb.

Circuit n°20 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Family circuit without any difficulty, which goes from pine woods to a wine-growing landscape and scrubland.

Circuit n°18 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Very nice course in the wood of Cessenon and its eucalyptus plantations. The detour via the Col de la Maurerie is worth it.

Circuit n°12 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Short version of circuit 12, family par excellence, without losing any of the interest of eucalyptus trees.

Circuit °13 of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Common circuit partly with the blue 9. The two circuits separate then meet again, separate again, etc. The exercise thus becomes a real “treasure game” for the children. No difficulty, although from time to time you may have to push the bike for short distances. The return via a path along the river rewards the efforts made.

Also ideal for beginners who are not yet experienced at longer distances.

Circuit n°16 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Warning: short but difficult route. The starting climb is tough, and several passages are quite technical in the second part, before and after the charming hamlet of Cauduro.

Several fairly long single tracks, including one of about 3 km with several dangerous passages for beginners but which will delight experienced practitioners.

Circuit n°14 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Difficult circuit. Short but steep climbs and some technically difficult passages, even dangerous for unwary riders, but a magnificent circuit and a great diversity of landscapes. These passages are connected by long connections without difficulty. You will admire the Réals rapids and its canoe base open to all.

Circuit n°4 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Above Cazedarnes, the circuit which has two sectors in common with the 8, allows you to discover the ruins of the castle of St-Baulery, then the Abbey of Fontcaude, "Exceptional Site" in Languedoc, exemplary of the ultimate architecture Romanesque in the region.

Circuit n°5 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

If the circuit is short, perhaps a little “strolling” will be necessary to get over the hump halfway. But the view from above is very beautiful, near the old marble quarries. Nice little single track on the way back.

Circuit n°21 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

Circuit classified red by the two big hills at the start of the route, but once past these difficulties it is a nice walk.

The circuit allows a beautiful discovery of the southern reliefs of Cessenon sur Orb. Return via the old railway line (be careful of the short passage on the road).

Circuit n°6 ​​of the VTT-FFC area of ​​Terroir Saint-Chinianais.

An almost flat profile for this very family-friendly circuit which will take you to the Réals leisure center to admire the powerful Orb rapids and why not, sign up for a canoe trip.
