La Passa Païs is a cycling route of nearly 80 km located in the heart of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park.
You'll pedal along a sandy and secure former railway line between Mazamet and Bédarieux. This route will take you across the watershed, with the Mediterranean slope on one side and the ocean slope on the other (hence the nickname “Passa Pais” in Occitan meaning “Country Pass”).
Your peaceful advance along the Passa Païs will enable you to enjoy a succession of varied landscapes that will parade before your eyes: forests, scrublands and mountains. You can contemplate the Massif du Caroux, the Montagne Noir and make stops in charming Languedoc villages.
