ヴィルヌーヴ＝ド＝ベルクのおすすめライド

A park where you can slip discreetly into your sleeping bag before setting off again at dawn.

Narrow road with bad road surface (2025). Good for climbing, less suitable for descending

Beautifully scenic ascent to the Collet de la Serre, mainly through forest, only moderate gradient. The asphalt is in very poor condition (2024), so I would recommend not riding the route downhill on a racing bike.

Be sure to exit the Via Rhona to see this

Beautiful climb to Mirabel, on top of the remains of Mirabel castle. The charming Ardechois village of Mirabel is a highly appreciated stop among lovers of charming villages, with its cobbled streets, stone houses and arched passages. At the top of this fortified village, on the basalt cliff, stands a square tower of black basalt rubble stone with belt beams of white limestone, remains of the medieval fortresses that used to stand here.

Road at the edge of the cliff. Remarkable view.

Maximum slopes of 6.2% in the Benas David pass, we didn't have to do the same. And then 17.5 km with a flat area which can make it seem shorter if you don't have the wind in your face. There are some passages that are even steeper. I consider it more difficult than Ventoux from Areau to Chalet Reynard 20km. But it is true, a very nice pass to do, for a good beginner like me aged... (Lol).. And a good preparation in comparison therefore for the Ventoux from Areau done the next day, in which it was necessary to have kept strength for the 6 deniers kilometres.

The climbs are super pleasant. The descents are risky because they are narrow and fast. Attention !
