Passerelle de Mazamet

The suspended footpath extends 140 meters across the Arnette Valley, connecting Mazamet to the medieval village of Hautpoul at 70 meters above ground.

Following a proposal from the Alpine Club of Mazamet, the construction commenced in June 2018 and required four months to complete at a cost of 581,884 euros.

The passage serves as a connection between modern Mazamet and the medieval village of Hautpoul, established in 413 by a Visigoth king.

The structure remains open daily for pedestrian crossing, with access points available from both Mazamet's Jamarie parking area and the Hautpoul village side.

Between May 2022 and May 2023, the counting system recorded 113,500 visitors crossing this galvanized steel bridge spanning the deep valley.
