Village de Lagorce

Highlight • Other

Magnificent village typical of southern Ardèche with its stone houses, narrow streets and vaulted passages. You can discover the history of sericulture (silk cultivation) in the museum housed in a former silkworm farm. Also worth seeing is the 1860 church built on the ruins of the 16th century church, of which only the crypt remains today, now converted to host cultural events. Finally, going up towards the heights of the village you will pass Place de la Time under the belfry and its sundial, marking the entrance to the castle of the lords of Lagorce, destroyed during the religious wars of the 17th century.

Cize Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Cycling up from Comps, most of the route we found to be ridable, apart from a short steep section with a lot of large loose stone. But on the whole 4x4 track of a gentle/ridable gradient. The descent down to Salavas was excellent, with single track initially before opening up to fast gravel 4x4 tracks. (It was very hot!)

Col de la Cize gravel path

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A mountain biker's paradise. Tough climbs and fun descents. Speeds appropriate for experience. Not suitable for regular bikes (gravel and XC, touring).
