The Ochres of Roussillon

Highlight • Natural Monument

The ocher rocks offer a very special play of colors from rich yellow to warm orange to bright red. The ocher industry once flourished here, today you can explore the bizarre rocky landscape on a bike tour or hike.

Former Ochre Quarry, Roussillon

Highlight • Natural Monument

You ride over hill and rock past fascinating rock formations that show different shades of red and orange depending on the position of the sun. The varied terrain of the former ochre open-cast mine is a real playground for mountain bikers.

Roussilon

Highlight • Other

With a motorhome you always have to park very far out... we recommend a bike, or even better an e-bike, as the places are always at the top of the mountain. In August it is also super hot, we had 35 degrees! However, it is pleasant in the small streets in town because the sun cannot shine in. The ocher rocks are a must! This color can also be found in other places in the world. At Ayersrock in Australia, in the south of India. When running, be careful not to fall, you won't get the paint out of your clothes.
