サン・マルタン＝シュル＝ラベゾンのおすすめライド

The "Voie Douce de la Payre" railway cycle path connects Le Pouzin to Privas in the Ardèche and follows the route of the former Pouzin–Privas railway line. Opened in 1861, this line was the first railway connection in the Ardèche department. Initially used to transport iron ore, it later also carried passengers and freight before being closed in 1994. Today, the approximately 20 km long cycle path is fully paved and runs almost level along the Payre River, a tributary of the Rhône. The path leads through tunnels and over viaducts, offering impressive views of the surrounding gorges and villages such as Chomérac and Alissas. Its easy accessibility makes it ideal for family outings and connects the ViaRhôna with the Dolce Via, two other popular cycle paths in the region.

A mandatory refreshment break to enjoy some very good ice creams and sorbets.

Beautiful railway cycle path and beautiful viaduct.

Very pleasant gentle route.

view of the Pierres de Faux pass.

Ardèche ice cream par excellence! The ice creams are organic and of high quality, there are more than 50 flavors available. The opening hours are quite wide but the tasting room, the one with the glasses and the whipped cream (!!), opens after lunch. There is also a small internal museum. It is really a must-see in the region!

Just to the top 🔝 is a steep walking path, not with cycling shoes.
