A small, quiet bike park on the karst plateau at the top of Barétous, right on the border with Navarre. The trails are natural enduro trails rather than built jump lines. The landscape of limestone boulders, pines and grazing sheep makes the riding special. Good for anyone who wants to try lift-served enduro without the crowds.
