    Road cycling

    Prepare to experience one of the most spectacular and exciting road routes in Europe! The Combe Laval road, nestled in the Vercors massif, is a true engineering masterpiece of the 19th century. Also known as the "road of dizziness," it winds for about 4 kilometers literally carved into the limestone rock, offering passages through suggestive tunnels and natural balconies with breathtaking drops that will take your breath away.

    Undoubtedly the most beautiful road in the Vercors, and certainly a delight for cyclists. The climb through Saint-Jean-en-Royans is quite challenging, with numerous sections at 8-9% gradients. It's possible to do it downhill by first climbing the Col du Pionnier.
