    Tips

    One of the most breathtaking roads in France! A raised balcony road, under limestone overhangs, which crosses tunnels and with breathtaking views. Not recommended if you suffer from vertigo!

      This climb is just awesome. At the beginning, the driveway is rather boring without much view, until you come to the spectacular road "Combe Laval". This piece is one of a kind and an absolute must for any road cyclist in the area. In total, it is 11.6 kilometers and 736 meters in altitude to the Col de la Machine. The maximum gradient is still a pleasant eight percent.

        Breathtaking landscapes, the road winding along the rock walls... an absolute must!
