It's the Val d'Enfer, now famous for being taken 3 times at each Ardèche Classic, a top-level pro race at the end of the winter.
It will feature prominently in the 2025 European Cycling Championships.
It's a real pasta-maker and only the best puncheurs can stay in the top places when it's raced.
For Sunday cyclists, there's a lovely view of Valence, the Vercors and even the Ventoux when visibility is good (on mistral days), before switching to the Toulaud side to join the roads that are seldom used and very pleasant to ride on in summer because they are well shaded (Col des Ayes, Col de Rotisson, Croix de Saint-André, Col de la Justice, etc.).
Il s'agit du Val d'Enfer, célèbre désormais pour être prise 3 fois à chaque Ardèche Classic, course pro de bon niveau à la fin de l'hiver.
Elle sera à l'honneur lors des championnats d'Europe de cyclisme 2025.
C'est un véritable casse pâtes et seuls les meilleurs puncheurs peuvent rester dans les premières places lorsqu'elle parcouru en course.
Pour les cyclos du dimanche, vous profiterez d'une jolie vue sur Valence, le Vercors, même le Ventoux lorsque la visibilité est bonne (les jours de mistral) avant de basculer côté Toulaud pour rejoindre des routes peu fréquentées et très agréables pour rouler l'été car bien ombragées (col des Ayes, col de Rotisson, croix de Saint-André, col de la Justice...)
Nice steep hill, great for training! View on the surroundings at the finish, with continuity + Mountain bike trails
Belle côte assez pentue, super pour s'entraîner ! Vue sur les alentours à l'arrivée, avec continuité + Chemins VTT
