We cross the ridge that separates the Baronnies from the Campan valley. A completely new landscape unfolds, overlooked by the Pic du Midi de Bigorre and the Arbizon. It's breathtaking. We encounter heritage sites that bear witness to past pastoral life: the outlying barns dominate the landscape and tell the story of life here.
We ride along the ridge between high-altitude beech forests and limestone rocks on this very wild route.

Little Canada, as we affectionately call the Payolle plateau, is a magnificent area nestled between mountain ridges and the plateau itself. High-altitude meadows, streams, and wooded paths: the diversity of this exceptional site justifies its reputation. We'll begin the day on the ridge with panoramic views to the east over the Aure valley and to the west over the Payolle plateau and its lake, then we'll cross the vast summer pastures to the Auberge des 4 Véziaux.
