Step 1

By the D123, direction Quintillan; about 500m later, descent to the left towards a small road. Then straight ahead along the stream and uphill track to the median of the Col de Tauleplette. Ascent to the right to the Col de Mairolles. Join the D123. Towards Quintillan, then the small road to the source of the Berre. Leave it for a track on the right which climbs towards Sinsac. Go to the crossroads called "American parking lot". Go up the track to the right. Cross the village of Albas then take the D106, towards Cascastel. At 500m, in the descent, turn left on the path in the valley and climb on the Ginoufre plateau to the crossroads of Vente Farine. Continue downhill towards the small road then the D106. Mountain biker advice: steep climb to Sinsac; until Albas some technical passages: do not hesitate to get off your bike.

Be careful, the fire risk is often high, especially in summer, and can lead to flower bed closures. Find out before you go consulting the fire risk map for outdoor activities.
Fires strictly prohibited. Do not smoke and never throw cigarette butts in nature. Fires are numerous and catastrophic in our region. In the event of a fire or accident: give alert 18 or 112 from a cell phone.
Protect yourself from the sun and take enough water with you.
Avoid picking flowers and plants. Take all your trash. Close fences and keep dogs on a leash in pasture areas, villages and protected areas.

Mountain bike routes: the routes are often shared with hikers or other users (cars, tractors, etc.). Be careful and always anticipate that a pedestrian may be present around a bend to have time to brake if necessary. Pedestrians have priority in principle, slow down at crossings or stop if the configuration of the terrain requires you to do so.
Thank you and happy hiking!

Hike made this morning. Beautiful panoramas in the wild Corbières, with crossings of typical villages in the area. A good technical portion between Sinsac and Albas, the rest is rather disappointing in mountain biking, downhill runs and roads.
