The Combe Laval circus route takes you up between 253 m and 1015 m above sea level. This road is very popular with cyclists for its exceptional panorama. A veritable cornice carved into the rock, you can reach the Col de la Machine at 1015m offering you a view of the entire valley below.

In the Drôme section of the Vercors massif, a spectacular road runs for nearly 4 kilometres along the impressive limestone escarpments. This is the Combe Laval road, which connects Saint-Jean-en-Royans to the Col de la Machine. Opened in 1898, it was originally used to transport wood but soon became a tourist attraction.

Today, the Combe Laval road is a must-see in the region, due to its location in the centre of a majestic cirque, with breathtaking scenery. The continuous alternation between tunnels and open-air sections leaves no room for monotony. It is also dotted with dizzying viewing points offering splendid views of the Royan landscape.
