Τα 5 κορυφαία ορεινά περάσματα Montbrison

The Col de la Loge peaks at an altitude of 1,253 meters. In winter, it is the gateway to long and beautiful cross-country ski trails which head towards the heart of Livradois-Forez. In summer, hikers take it to enjoy the serenity of the woods that populate the surrounding area.

At the entrance to Livradois-Forez, the Col du Reculon peaks at an altitude of 1,152 meters. Very popular with cyclists, it is also popular with hikers who walk the GR 3.

A steep pass on both sides, the ascent from chabreloche will allow you to descend towards the Chausseterre and pick up speed. Be careful, a treacherous turn on the descent. The pass also has a history, a sign that reads "here France ends, here begins Auvergne" installed during the Second World War in 1942 by students from Thiers. An inn is also present at the top. Good luck for the climb 🚵 ♂️🚵 Do not hesitate to follow us on Instagram @chouchou_team

The Col de la Loge, located at 1,253 meters above sea level, has its own chalet-inn. It is an ideal place to stop there during your roaming. All the information can be found on the chalet's website: http://www.coldelaloge.fr/.

Departure of cross-country skis

Very nice climb in the hills then the moor and the pastures on the plateau. Breathtaking view of the Auvergne volcano chain and the Monts du Lyonnais on the other side

Super pass to do from Sail sous Couzan for a real climb. It can be done in different variants by taking the traditional route, via St Just en bas or Palogneux. In any case, the roads remain very uncrowded and the landscapes are really beautiful with cliffs and pine forests. It almost feels like being in the south depending on where you look. Percentages are never too high. If we go through Palogneux the climb is steeper but a descent allows us to rest.

In the middle of the Forez mountains. A real pleasure !
