The Puy de Sabat

Discovery trail
Embed this item to access it offline
A multi-faceted circuit, typical of the Haut-Corréze landscape.
The beginning of the course is more technical and hilly. It offers the most beautiful landscapes: the Puy du Sancy on sunny days, a passage by the Diège and a descent overlooking the river. The rest of the route alternates between passages in the woods, beautiful forest tracks, and roads with very little traffic. This circuit includes two shorter routes, Picturesque Valleys (13 km) and Fine Fountains (16 km). Favourite section: the passage through the wetlands at about the halfway point, on the wooden pontoons.
