Ah the Cirque de Navacelles ... My country, this place ! Very nice Cévennes climb, with a beautiful panorama at the top, but being from the Cévennes I'm certainly not objective!

Ah le Cirque de Navacelles ... Mon pays ce coin !! Très belle montée cévenole, avec une beau panorama au sommet, mais étant Cévenol je suis pas doute pas objectif !!

Beautiful climb. For a round trip, you can drive from the south to Vissec (also there a very nice descent and climb which unfortunately are not yet on this site), and then via Blandas descend north to the Cirque de Navacelles, to start this climb.

Prachtige klim. Voor een rondrit kun je vanuit het zuiden naar Vissec rijden (Ook daar een heel mooie afdaling en klim di jammer genoeg nog niet op deze site staan), en dan via Blandas langs het noorden afdalen naar het Cirque de Navacelles, om dan aan deze klim te beginnen.

I did this variant in June 2020. Really a super combination of fairly tough climbing with beautiful views. The start is in the cirque itself which is created from an old bend in the river Vis, which carves out the valley
in the limestone of the Causses. Near the start the river Vis flows into a beautiful waterfall. If you have time, go and have a look and take a dive (if you like ice cold water ;))

The climb itself is not really hard, but you get no rest. Good for the diesels among us (including me). The tarmac is not perfect, but certainly good enough. The traffic was fine in my case, I think I have 4 cars's passing, but I guess that in August that can be different.

Cirque de Navacelles is pretty isolated, so you'll have to cycle through a (less interesting) area to get there. It will be quiet though!

Ik deed deze variant in juni 2020. Werkelijk een super combinatie van redelijk pittig klimmen met prachtige vergezichten. De start is in het keteldal zelf welke is ontstaan uit een oude bocht van de rivier de Vis, die het dal uitsleet
in het kalksteen van de Causses. Vlakbij de start stroomt de rivier de vis die vlakbij uitmondt in een schitterende waterval. Als je tijd hebt, ga hier zeker kijken en neem een duik (als je van ijskoud water houdt ;))

De klim zelf is nergens echt heel zwaar, maar je krijgt nergens rust. Lekker voor de diesels onder ons (waaronder ik). Het asfalt is niet perfect maar zeker goed genoeg. Het verkeer was in mijn geval prima, ik heb denk ik 4 auto's zien passeren, maar ik schat dat dat in Augustus best wel eens anders kan zijn.

Cirque de Navacelles ligt overigens behoorlijk geïsoleerd dus je zult wel door (wat minder interessant) gebied moeten fietsen om er te komen. Rustig zal het wel zijn!
