The Combe Laval circus route takes you up between 253 m and 1015 m above sea level. This road is very popular with cyclists for its exceptional panorama. A veritable cornice carved into the rock, you can reach the Col de la Machine at 1015m offering you a view of the entire valley below.

Machine Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de la Machine is located at the end of the remote karst of Combe Laval. The panorama is spectacular and the site gives you an overall impression of the natural environment which constitutes the Vercors massif.

Perfect for a descent, but of course quite a tough climb, although at least there is a water point.
