A disappointing result.
The tarmac section (two-thirds of the route) is of little interest.

A lovely walk in the hills above Objat, combining dirt tracks and roads. Be careful, though: when it rains, the dirt track becomes difficult to walk on.

Stunning views. A fascinating insight into the distinctive rural heritage of the Objat region. It’s an easy, scenic route, ideal for families with children – and why not give it a go on a mountain bike?
