** New routes .... New landscapes!
A sporting adventure combining performance and sharing, enriched by the discovery of the history and heritage of our region through the Pyrenean peaks and hilltop villages.
A mix between sport, culture and change of scenery, a personal challenge and above all a moment of sharing in the heart of nature.
Gravel Experience is above all a human adventure and / or a challenge. We have chosen the most beautiful gravel-type ways that cross four valleys of our beautiful Pyrénées.
The concept
The objective of this adventure is to make you discover the wild character of certain valleys too often unknown to the general public. It will be a sharing between the locals, the peasants or the shepherds but also the herds of sheep or cows who will welcome you with respect for everyone.
You will obviously be able to access the performance either by the stopwatch or simply by arriving safe and sound from this epic! Gravel remains the best way to get to all these sites enriched by their history and heritage. We must not forget that we are in the Hautes(High)-Pyrénées, or even very '' High-Pyrénées '' with beautiful valleys sometimes deep to go up to switch to his neighbor.
