Some technical passages in pure gravel, it is better to have a double chainring and to have good control of your clipless pedals.

Very mountain bike track over a good quarter of the route, but passable in gravel for the very motivated.

Feasible in Gravel with 2 or 3 passages with very short portage. To take breathtaking views.

MTB trail but doable without difficulty on gravel, a few technical and steep sections, nothing more

The ride seems short, but is intense due to many small elevation changes between the rocky outcrops. It's more of a VTT route than gravel. For the gravel rider, it's better to ride the whole D148E5 / SAL 6 on the east side of the lake. It's a Strada Rosa and better to ride than directly along the lake.

Beautiful walk on the red lands of Salagou taking some very rocky mountain bike trails, ford crossings and good singles with good elevation changes to be done on foot 👍
