Dam with a beautiful history and architecture, the view is worth it

A breathtaking view

Built in 1866, this dam was designed to regulate the waters of the Furan River and prevent flooding. The site is surrounded by hiking trails offering spectacular views of waterfalls and natural landscapes.

The Crêt de la Perdrix offers a magnificent 360-degree view. The path is very stony up to the orientation table. During the summer, you come across many hikers here who come to enjoy the charms of the park.

Crêt de Chaussître is located at the southern end of Pilat. It offers a beautiful panorama of the Monts du Velay, Mont Mezenc, the Yssingeaux juices and the high plateaus of Forez.

The Gouffre d'Enfer dam was erected at the request of Napoleon III. It is one of the first “masonry arch weight” dams in Europe. If the name inspires little confidence, this place is sublime, especially in autumn when the colors of the forest change.

Magnificent panoramas of the Alps, the Rhône valley, Pilat and the Monts du Vivarais, almost a 360°!

Really long hill with a low gradient between 3 and 7 %max. Stunning views to mountains all the way. After to reached 1250m a really long downhill will follow you for many many km.
