Pas de Lauzun Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This small pass passes from the Saoû syncline towards the Drôme valley. A passage between two marvelous worlds!

A steady climb, most of which has a gradient of 2%. Only the last kilometre has an average gradient of 7%. You pass through the beautiful Forêt de Saoû and eventually on a meadow, where the pass is also located.
