サンマルタンアンヴェルコールの天然記念物・トップ20

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.

Nice little place, the climb up to here is still manageable. Nice views nonetheless.

The landscape is an absolute eye-catcher, a great road with countless views.

Magnificent landscape, great road in the rocks. More information: https://www.quaeldich.de/touren/touren-im-parc-naturel-regional-du-vercors/route-combe-laval-variante-1/

Fantastic landscape, beautiful road. Combe Laval, a must in the Vercors.

👌👍😉

Ice reserve still exploited not so long ago (until the mid-20th century). Interesting explanatory panels.

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.
