메질락 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Anyone who wants to stop for a bite to eat should stop here. There are few alternatives. A Grand Café Creme and a generous sandwich for 8 euros.

Forest tulip, mountain pea and of course broom

From the end of June it will probably be really tasty 😋

The Col de Mézilhac from Le Cheylard is a frequent ascent in the Ardéchoise, a cyclosportive in June. The climb is 22 km long with a total elevation gain of 700 m. The average gradient is 3.18% with maximum gradients of 7.5%.

Away from traffic, here is a very nice climb of 15 km to reach Lachamp Raphaël, the highest village in the Ardèche. The ascent starts practically at the foot of the Col de Moucheyres shortly after having crossed the hamlet of Freyssenet then that of Mas coming from Labastide sur Besorgues. The road gradually rises in the chestnut trees then dominates the Besorgues. The average slope fluctuates between 5 and 6% on average then straightens up a little more after crossing the bridge that spans the Besorgues. We quickly gain height to dominate the Tanargue massif, the first rampart of the Cévennes. At the end, the profile softens noticeably as it enters the Bois de Cuze forest. The Suc de Montivernoux and its 3 crosses end up revealing themselves on the right, a sign that you are reaching the top while the panorama opens onto the Ardèche plateau from which emerges the elongated silhouette of Mont Mézenc.
