The Col des Quatre Vios from Saint-Pierreville is a beautiful climb in the Ardèche that you absolutely must experience. It is a challenging but accessible route for cyclists, with a perfect balance between exertion and enjoyment.

During the climb, you are surrounded by breathtaking scenery. A special moment for me was when I spent two minutes chasing two little deer, gracefully running up the mountain - a magical experience. The route also takes you past a charming little castle, which adds an extra touch of charm to the ride. The recently paved road makes for a smooth climb, while the shelter along the route protects you from the sun on many parts of the climb.

After reaching the summit at 1149 metres, however, more beauty awaits you. As you continue your way towards the Col de Fayolle, you get the chance to enjoy minutes of breathtaking panoramic views. As you drive along the ridge, surrounded by mountains and valleys, it seems like you can admire the landscape from all sides.

Een bijzonder moment voor mij was toen ik twee minuten lang achter twee kleine hertjes aanreed, die sierlijk de berg op renden – een magische ervaring. De route voert je ook langs een charmant kasteeltje, wat een extra vleugje charme toevoegt aan de rit. De recent geasfalteerde weg zorgt voor een soepele klim, terwijl de beschutting langs de route je op veel delen van de klim beschermt tegen de zon.

Na het bereiken van de top op 1149 meter hoogte, wacht je echter nog meer moois.

Lekker lopende klim, nooit heel zwaar en heel mooi asfalt. De breedte van de weg heeft meer weg van een fietspad dan een weg voor auto's
