Etapa 7 de la Ruta dels Bons Homes

Brief but intense day, with a percentage of path superior to the usual and the incentive of exploring the impressive gorges of the Frau. In the afternoon, it is suggested to leave the bicycles in the picturesque town of Montségur to visit their imposing castle. We start the day, undoing the journey to Montaillou, where we resume the layout of the G.T. Ariege Pyrenees. This path will take us through a magnificent tour to Prades and Comus, characterized by its land without great slopes. Upon arriving at Comus, we take a track that immerses us at the bottom of the valley, entering the FRAU throats. We descend through this section, facing some technical segments in a 2 km route, culminating in its main access. From here, we continue by road to the Core of Pelail (Source). From this point, we face an ascension of less than 3 km that quickly becomes extremely steep, winning 400 m of unevenness in less than 2 km. With technical skill and the use of electric bicycles, it is possible to rise without interruptions, stopping alone at the points where the water invades the path. For those who opt for a conventional mountain bicycle, they will reach more or less to the top according to their legs and technical skills, but it is likely to push the bicycle for at least 200 m of unevenness (approximately half an hour). Those who prefer to avoid bicycle drag have the option to follow the road from Pelail to Fougax-Et-Barrineuf and, from there, take the D9 road that amounts to Montségur in just over 8 km. For those who choose to follow the GR-107, once at the top they will enjoy a brief but exceptional decrease of 2 km, surrounded by dense forests and by a slightly technical path, until you reach Montségur.
