Olargues Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Inaugurated on November 18, 1889, it was originally an Eiffel-type railway bridge. It now supports the greenway crossing Haut-Languedoc, Passa Païs, from Mazamet to Bédarieux (76 kilometres).

View of Olargues Village

Highlight • Viewpoint

This charming medieval village is located between Mazamet and Bédarieux. Its emblematic Devil's Bridge, its small streets and its views of the Montagne Noire are worth a detour.

From here we appreciate the viaduct that crosses the Jaur gorge. It's amazing how this work of engineering blends into a lush green setting!

Fontfroide Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A pretty cycling pass with a little Alpine character which is done in a loop from Lamalou or Saint Pons.
A few passages at 10%, with little traffic.

August 16, 2025,Gravel 87 km - Olargues Fraisse Espinouse Poujol
We leave the village via the Passa Païs Greenway and very quickly the trail climbs into the Somail National Forest. After the effort, we emerge at Lake Vézoles. A welcome break.

The trail then leads us to the charming village of Fraisse-sur-Agout. We continue into the Espinouse National Forest: shaded forest trails and more open rolling paths.
