After a long section of "classic" pass, we suddenly find ourselves on the side of a cliff with a majestic view 😍. The valley is not very long but magnificent. Many nooks and crannies to stop and take a photo.

A fairly demanding pass at first, but it eventually eases off as the scenery becomes incredible! 6 km at 8%, then 6%, 4%, 5% (not sure, I was just looking at the scenery) and the last two km at 4%.

The Col de la Machine is located at the end of the remote karst of Combe Laval. The panorama is spectacular and the site gives you an overall impression of the natural environment which constitutes the Vercors massif.

Cafe / Resto at the bottom. Nothing at the top. The road has just been resurfaced so the descent is great. Be careful though, especially in the wet as water drains across the surface in places, typically on or just before the corners. Plenty of coffee and cake in Chabeuil. If you wanted to add a bit more you could descend to Beaufort-sur-Gervanne, which is a good option if the boulangerie is open, or loop across the top from Cavalli to Col des Limouches. It's over 1000 meters altitude and the descent is more technical. Some shaded picnic tables too.

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.

The first tough km at 8% but the view is worth it!

The climb by Chamaloc is long but regular and never tricky

Very steep at first starting from St Jean. The road becomes less steep on Combe Laval

Beautiful small pass road, little traffic, but no regular incline. Some fine gravel on the road, not without danger on a racing bike.

Breathtaking landscapes, the road winding along the rock walls... an absolute must!

On the Die side, it's a climb of nearly 20 kilometers, long but generally easy—about 5%—with a series of impressive switchbacks and magnificent views. Don't forget your lights for the tunnel at the summit.

One of the most breathtaking roads in France! A raised balcony road, under limestone overhangs, which crosses tunnels and with breathtaking views. Not recommended if you suffer from vertigo!
