Decent / climb Mount Fourcat

Highlight • Other

There are so many climbs and hidden roads and gems in this area. The climbs are not too short, and some of them quite steep. But they make the best of adventures and if you have the time to enjoy them you can really have a great time!

This climb is great, we descended it tho. If you go from the top of Forcat its a quite rocky and gravely decent in the beginning, the first 4km are hard, I walked a lot even on the decent as I had a fully packed touring bike. When you get a bit further down its a lot easier. When the roads becomes twisty with some switchbacks, it starts to get easier and soon there is also tarmac. From there on its a great decent down to the cute little town.

Mount Fourcat

Highlight • Summit

Mont Fourcat, in the Tabe massif, is certainly not the highest peak in Ariège but it is a classic with a superb view.
