Discover the village of Variéras and its strange houses, and then the mills of Razel on this sporty outing.

This circuit is part of the FFVélo Haute-Corrèze mountain bike base, the largest mountain biking area in France with 1000 km of marked circuits. This circuit is easy going, with a slightly technical descent after Variéras. A very pleasant itinerary on paths mainly through woodland, alongside the Vézère river at the beginning. Ideal for a sporty outing on a hot summer's day.

Chaleix Wood

The Bois de Chaleix, with a ground area of about 150 ha, was acquired recently by the commune of Bugeat. Bordered by the Vézère river, it is composed of deciduous and coniferous trees. It offers many possibilities for sporting activities: hiking, orienteering, trail running, fishing and archery.

Heritage site

The village of Varièras

Varièras symbolises the renewal and creativity of the Plateau: if the cottage represents the traditional rural habitat of our region, the thatch is what predominates in this village of about fifty cottages. These buildings are real people's homes and are private properties that cannot be visited. On the descent after the village, the paved path goes down to the so-called Roman bridge of Variéras.
