Pista VTT Rouge

Highlight • Other

Very nice, build track up and down through the woods. Starting in Hourtin Plage. Track goes further and back to Hourtin ( just follow the signs), but not so nice

In summer take lots of water, there’s not much shade on the tarmac section and temperatures get high

Col du Château d'eau

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice little gimmick, probably put up by the forestry administration.
I would have preferred a better surface.

Hourtin Dunes and Marshes Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

This superb nature reserve brings together all the landscapes of the Aquitaine coast. Fine sandy beaches, pine forests as far as the eye can see, dunes, lakes and marshes, are all wonders to discover while crossing it.
