アルコンサットのおすすめライド

標高約1,070メートルの峠。車の通行は少なく、Gitenayの風車から7kmにわたって平均7%の勾配で一定の登りが続く。自然の中を走る、木陰の多い非常に快適な登り道。

モミの木の森に埋もれた峠。通りたい人のための注意点ですが、かなりの急勾配です。

いくつかの登りがあり、レベルや距離に応じてアクセスしやすい、とても素敵で快適な峠です。それぞれの側面が風景と小さな村をもたらします。 景色の美しさのために登りたいのであれば、Les NoësまたはCharrier経由での登りをお勧めします。難しい登りを求めている人には、Charrierが最も難しい側面としても機能します。

Given the long tradition of craftsmanship in Thiers (Wikipedia reports: "The town's heyday began with the arrival of cutlery. Legend says that Auvergnatian crusaders brought this art from the Orient to Thiers. The first cutlers are documented to have settled in Thiers in the 14th century; they used the steep gradient of the Durolle River to power their blacksmith's hammers. This trade quickly brought prestige and wealth to the town."), a town twinning with Solingen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) would be a good fit from a thematic perspective. This town in the Bergisches Land also has a long tradition of craftsmanship in this field. This is presented in two museums.

A long, steady climb. Almost no cars, wide roads and beautiful surroundings! Hard to find a coffee or lunch place though.

A city of incredible streets: Steep and rich in heritage. The medieval and industrious atmosphere makes this Auvergne city quite unique.

Down here in the valley are the "ruins" of the old cutlery factories; over the years they had to make way for more modern production facilities...

Local curiosities from the Middle Ages deserve a mention: the “Peddes”, which in Thiers designate an inhabited passage connecting two medieval houses.
