Les Agreux Granges
Description
Ride south along the main road in Sospel and turn onto the Circuit du Cuore. The tarred road changes to gravel and in a right-hand bend you branch off onto a trail. The path is partly rocky with large stones, so you should definitely have some riding skills here. Follow the goat path into the valley. The path runs along the slope and does not forgive any mistakes, as there is a risk of falling. It is therefore not possible to enjoy the wonderful solitary nature to the full, as maximum concentration is required. The steep, rocky terrain is very technical with difficulty levels up to S4. On the opposite side of the valley, you come to a small mountain pasture with a ruin. Now comes the key section of the tour. Steeply blocked with hairpin bends, the path leads down towards the stream. Slowly you circle down the trail until you finally cross the stream at the bottom and climb slightly uphill again on the other side. After about one kilometer, you come to a tarred road on which you roll back to Sospel.
Note: This tour is only recommended for very experienced riders. There is a risk of falling in places. In the winter months, it is usually very slippery and damp.

The brains behind Ride MTB

The slope crossing is unproblematic, a few sliding passages, then S1 up to the ruins, there nice S2 at most short S3 hairpin bends, but then just before the stream 4 very impressive herding dogs that surrounded me! After about 15 minutes I was only able to retreat - unfortunately all the way back, as the dogs couldn't take a joke...
