Athara Adventures chooses Specialized Turbo Levo e-bikes for our tours because they represent the pinnacle of mountain biking technology and performance. With a legacy spanning 40 years of obsession with creating the world's best riding mountain bikes, the all-new Levo epitomizes a bionic leap forward in innovation.

This tour combines three beautiful, shorter, and easier hikes spaced apart with visits to historic sites that date back over 1,000 years, local markets that still have a distinctly medieval feel, uniquely delicious local food, and local vineyards for regional wine tastings.

The Ride of the Five Castles is your chance to have an adventure with jaw-dropping views, heart-pumping climbs, and a delightful, uniquely French experience. The five Cathar castles: Aguilar, Peyrepertuse, Queribus, Puilaurens, and Puivert, once formed the border with Aragon (Spain). Magnificent feats of engineering, these fortresses are candidates for the UNESCO World Heritage List of sites.
