Valleraugue - Road bike circuit #7
The first kilometres to Le Mazel are a pleasant warm-up, followed by a beautiful road to Saint-André-de-Majencoules and Mandagout. Then things spice up, with the passes of Col des Vieilles pass and the famous Col de La Luzette (altitude 1,351 m), where even five-times Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault had to dismount !
Another small effort to L'Espérou before the downhill section to Valleraugue.
