Donezan is a land of mountains on Ariège ground. There, one can do mountain biking and road cycling. It is recommended to arrive with a minimum of training...

Mountain biking

The possibilities are many. A large part of the hiking ways are practicable in mountain bike. Donezan offers you two faces :

• the sector Quérigut, Le Puch, Carcanières and the cross-country skiing tracks of Mijanès which are relatively easy of access.
• the other parts of the District, for which a good training is necessary (physical and technical difficulties).

Road cycling

Donezan offers you kms of road, but a minimum of training is necessary. Just to have an idea, ask the cyclists of the Tour de France what they think about it.... In 2003 for the centenary of the Tour, the cyclists climbed for the first time the dreadful slopes of the Pailhères pass. With 2001 meters high, it is the highest road pass in Ariège. Up to now, it was known for its winter closure, and in summer, for its horses which slow down traffic, for they got used to the passing by holiday-makers who give them bread to eat.
