サン＝シル＝ド＝ヴァロルジュのおすすめライド

Some might pass by this small, sacred monument without a second glance, but perhaps a passing biker might pause for a moment before the cross and, in keeping with ancient custom, utter a "Praised be Jesus Christ." Jesus Christ died for us on the cross, for the Son of God took this death upon himself out of love for us. Christiane Völkel offers a further reflection on this: "I have discovered that it benefits my relationship with God to at least be ready for those moments when God needs me to express his love [today]."

Very quiet climb, not too much traffic

Pass which joins Valsonne and Tarare.

Officially referenced pass. To be continued after the Cassettes or Croix Paquet passes.

The Col des Sauvages is located at an altitude of 723 m, in the Massif Central, on the watershed between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, in the Rhône department, in the village of Sauvages, near Tarare.

Starting point for many hikes in the surrounding area, it hosts the Valsonne drummer festival.

A very nice climb, rather regular and not too steep. A beautiful valley, undergrowth and the arrival at Affoux with a beautiful view of the Mountains.
