    Tips

    Away from traffic, here is a very nice climb of 15 km to reach Lachamp Raphaël, the highest village in the Ardèche. The ascent starts practically at the foot of the Col de Moucheyres shortly after having crossed the hamlet of Freyssenet then that of Mas coming from Labastide sur Besorgues. The road gradually rises in the chestnut trees then dominates the Besorgues. The average slope fluctuates between 5 and 6% on average then straightens up a little more after crossing the bridge that spans the Besorgues. We quickly gain height to dominate the Tanargue massif, the first rampart of the Cévennes. At the end, the profile softens noticeably as it enters the Bois de Cuze forest. The Suc de Montivernoux and its 3 crosses end up revealing themselves on the right, a sign that you are reaching the top while the panorama opens onto the Ardèche plateau from which emerges the elongated silhouette of Mont Mézenc.
