At the heart of Cathar Country, the “Aude en Pyrénées" Cyclosport Centre offers 20 circuits in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, which makes 1,200km of routes waiting to be discovered!
 The FFC Aude en Pyrénées Cyclosport Centre
The Haute Vallée de l'Aude invites you to experience its winding routes, crossing deep gorges or climbing legendary Pyrenean peaks.
