The road circuit is a classic of this area, going by St.Nazaire le Désert, La Motte Chalencon and the wild valley of the Arnayon, leading to the Col de Pré Guittard. Seven cols in 55km. Optional cols are possible, for the most courageous, on easy off-road routes.
The MTB circuit is on unsurfaced roads and tracks for the most part : 10 cols in 30km. Two more (including the Col de Gorat) can be added without much effort. During our reconnaissance, in 2021, we couldn’t reach the Col d’Epervier as the person living in the house where we left the road turned us back.
Proposed start at 09.00 at the Col de Geail for the MTBers. Roadies can park at the Col de Lescou, and descend back to there after the gathering.
